Program:

ALTER NICER MANN

The grandmaster of punchlines brings his 6th solo program to the cabaret stages of the country - and it will be - as in his previous pieces - a firework of wit and truth! - only not so loud - he's already over 50.

This is what happens when you still feel 25, but reality and your back see things differently? Why is the dog praised when he goes into the garden and I'm scolded?
scolded?" Gerald Fleischhacker doesn't take himself too seriously, takes life with humor and takes his audience on a crazy journey through the pitfalls of modern everyday life. An
everyday life that leaves him increasingly questioning. He was just the cool young "dude" that everyone likes to hang out with - suddenly he is even labeled a "typical cis man" by his own wife. And wonders why he has to think about music lessons at school.
Family chaos, technology madness, the daily insanity of the internet and real life, not to mention the eternal communication difficulties between husband and wife - not even Duol can cope.
wife - not even Duolingo can help. Gerald Fleischhacker gets to the heart of the matter: sharp-tongued, mercilessly funny and damn close to real life!
An evening with Gerald Fleischhacker is like a bottle of old red wine: ripe, perhaps with a hint of cork, but with plenty of oomph. And above all much better LIVE than
on TV :-), which the press also confirms.

"He can be funny" - Kleine Zeitung
"as usual full of punchlines" - Ö1
"one of the best things currently on the cabaret stage" - Kurier

Hilarious, pointed and always to the point! - from February 24th ...

Ding Dong

Eva Karl Faltermeier is known for her sharp wit and her inimitable style with which she delights audiences in Bavaria and throughout Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

In her third stage program "Ding Dong", she remains true to her style as she shares her socio-political observations with her audience. The breeding ground for this is often provided by her origins, the tricks that life plays on her - they are ideal for drawing conclusions from the small to the big picture.

Her stage character once again faces the multiple challenges of everyday life between unfulfillable social norms and cultural roots; an emotional mixture that can provoke powerlessness. This powerlessness is the powerlessness of many. And to free herself from this powerlessness, Eva Karl Faltermeier constructs stories with humor. Her great art lies in presenting oddities and serious topics with a twinkle in her eye. Laughter as a coping strategy - about time, disruptions and goals; what you miss, what you have and where you want to go. In the end, what remains is the confidence that everything is somehow possible. Nobody spoke of perfection.

Eva Karl Faltermeier has quickly made a name for herself in the scene in recent years, receiving and presenting awards, attending and hosting television shows. However, the heart of her artistic work continues to be the live evenings when she plays for her audience with her heart and soul. An artist you have to like. At a distance, of course.

"I want people to laugh, think and feel good at the same time," says Eva. "Cabaret is a way for me to reflect on the world to a certain extent and make people smile - also about myself and, above all, about my mistakes."
