An event in the series A Comedy. An Outrage. A Madness. - Schmidts TivoliA Comedy. An Outrage. A Madness. "No Bed for Dictators" - under this motto, the prominent NGO leader Cornelius von der Haidt, together with his wife and daughter, organizes a demonstration against the Berlin visit of the "Environmental Monster" Wohambe Wahumbe, the ruthless dictator of the state of Malumbo. Just a few hours later, the dictator himself stands at Cornelius' doorstep: He wants to thank his benefactor for helping him not only have a dignified upbringing with $50 a month but also for enabling his rise to power. Cornelius, who was unaware of his godson's background, panics: Is his life in danger? His family's? Or worse: his career? In the mirror of the evil dictator, it becomes clear that world-improver Cornelius is less tolerant and democratic than he thought. And Wohambe has some surprises in store for the family... "The $50 Dictator" is a comedy by Tommy Jaud and Moritz Netenjakob, directed by Schmidt's chief Corny Littmann.

"SHOWTIME!"The new show from Starbugs Comedy"SHOWTIME!" is world-class comedy without words. The three exceptional artists leave long speeches to others. With full physical commitment and stunning facial expressions, Starbugs Comedy produce a true firework of laughter. From young to old, no eye remains dry and the audience roars with laughter. Fabian Berger, Wassilis Reigel, and Martin Burtscher are world champions of non-verbal comedy, dancing and playing everything possible and impossible. They repeatedly surprise the audience with unexpected twists and turns. Their seemingly inexhaustible creativity has an intense side effect: sore muscles from laughing.The new comedy show "SHOWTIME!" promises everything and much more. And so, the final word from the Hessische Allgemeine Zeitung is: "And there they were, ninety minutes of infantile joy for life, which one inhaled like pure oxygen - standing ovations."

„Hamburger Hafenvarieté“ – marittimo, musicale, trascinanteCon tanta energia e idee fresche, l'Hamburger Hafenvarieté di mahoin approda nuovamente allo Schmidt Theater e sorprende con un formato di spettacolo rinnovato, pieno di curiosità, umorismo e gioia di vivere. Grande arte circense e musica dal vivo si uniscono per un'esperienza teatrale divertente e coinvolgente, che entusiasma topi di sentina e vecchi lupi di mare di ogni età. A volte forte e selvaggio, a volte quieto e sensibile, si sviluppa una serata piena di energia, umorismo e poesia.A fornire la spinta musicale è mahoin: con fisarmonica, percussioni e tanti fiati, portano sul palco musica da ballo onesta e analogica. Partendo da evergreen di Amburgo reinterpretati, il viaggio porta verso i porti e le perle musicali di questo mondo. Il motto: Alors on danse, dance op de Deel – con ritmi balcanici incalzanti, melodie popolari italiane e ucraine, e forse anche una o due canzoni proprie in stile Shanty-Polka.Il nuovo equipaggio artistico crea immagini potenti e al contempo poetiche con arte circense contemporanea all'Aerial Pole, nel Cyr-Ring e con giocoleria rimbalzante – direttamente dalla vita pulsante di un porto. Il timoniere Johnny naviga verso un insieme armonioso con molto umorismo e battute fresche, insieme ai suoi marinai musicisti, attraverso lo spettacolo sul palco.Nel corso della serata, l'ensemble pieno di brio fa tremare il palco ancora e ancora: si balla, si canta e si ride, finché l'intera sala non va in delirio – e il pubblico, euforico e appagato, viene congedato nella notte con „Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins“.

An event from the series Elke Winter - Just this now!Elke Winter presents her new program, which for the first time in the history of travesty does not conceal the true age of the artist and puts the evening in the service of important truths - about her luxurious body and its, ahem, interesting changes and needs. This new, radical honesty suits the show icon, because she never took a leaf out of her mouth when it came to uncomfortable truths in general or just the disgusting shirt of the man in row 5.It is therefore completely logical that she now, in this new and special phase of life, openly says what everyone thinks: getting older cannot be avoided. But - it's a big but: you can very well glide into the penultimate phase of life with dignity, style, and not without eroticism. But what does that mean concretely? Does Elke now only wear pink instead of beige? Does she stand by her physical flaws and old-fashioned views? Can she still recognize the trends in her industry and even set them herself? Does she now only wear "gagging glasses" and "cheeky bobs"? Is the ultimate solution for everything then "spraying instead of cutting"? How do best-agers kiss? And: what does Elke Winter actually do in her rare free time - making straw stars, hobby horsing, or ikebana? In any case, probably alone - most of her friends have already passed away ...Book and direction: Jan Martensen and Olaf Krüger

A Musical Chase by Martin Lingnau & Heiko Wohlgemuth Martin Lingnau and Heiko Wohlgemuth ("Heiße Ecke", "Die Königs vom Kiez", and many more) had the great pleasure and honor of bringing Otfried Preußler's children's book classic to the stage for the very first time in an entertaining musical version. At the Schmidt Theater, Carolin Spieß directs the exciting robber story with many funny ideas and lots of great music – a theatrical treat for the whole family! Oh dear! The robber Hotzenplotz steals Grandma's coffee grinder – and on her birthday, no less! Constable Dimpflmoser is clueless, as always. But the police can be helped: Kasperl and Seppel plunge headfirst into adventure to catch the robber with the seven knives. They get into perilous situations, encounter the evil wizard Petrosilius Zwackelmann and the good fairy Amaryllis. But the most important question is: Will they outsmart the robber Hotzenplotz and return the coffee grinder to Grandma? "The Robber Hotzenplotz" is a classic Kasperl story with everything that goes with it: there are heroes, villains, fairies, wizards, and a hopelessly overwhelmed constable. But in the end, good triumphs, of course. This makes "The Robber Hotzenplotz" the ideal play for theater beginners as well as old hands. Because even the grown-ups will have a lot of fun revisiting the heroes of their childhood!
