MATZE KNOP - Spitzenreiter
SPITZENREITER – this is the brand new stage program by Matze Knop.
Together with his new horse buddy, he bravely rides through the madness of our everyday life. Matze faces all the pitfalls and challenges of these crazy times in his well-known humorous and ironic manner.
From artificial intelligence to self-checkout machines, to the plight of a beleaguered SUV driver, just like Matze himself, to Dinkel-Dörte on her cargo bike and politicians who get tangled in their own statements like headphone cables in a backpack.
And what would Matze be without football? Whether Champions League or local league, whether VAR drama or dream goal — Matze transforms every punchline as reliably as Messi scores a penalty in the final. With a keen eye and plenty of humor, he pokes fun at the big and small absurdities of the most beautiful sport in the world, all while keeping a sharp focus on the 2026 World Cup.
Of course, the unmistakable parodies by Matze, such as Kloppo, Jogi, Ronaldo, Lodda, and Diedää, must also be included. He has them all with him. In his show, Matze also takes a trip back in time: he takes his audience to the 80s, 90s, and 2000s — to a time when we stumbled through the public pool with a Leckmuschel, an Ed vom Schleck, and a Walkman — without Wi-Fi — but with a hungry Tamagotchi. Who doesn’t remember the feeling of refreshing the teletext page or being greeted by a cheerful “uh-ohhh!” on ICQ? While we used to dance wildly and joyfully to Wham! and the Backstreet Boys, today we listen to melancholic singer-songwriters who sound like they lost the will to live even upon waking. Back then, Supa Richie could still use cheeky pick-up lines to win over his “pearl,” while today we only wonder when dating whether we should swipe right or left. Matze brings back all these themes — of course with a wink, lots of humor, and the right dose of self-irony.
One thing is for sure in Matze’s show: no evening is like the other. Spontaneous, quick-witted, and always close to the audience, he takes every situation that presents itself. Improvisation, interaction, and plenty of surprises are firmly integrated into his concept. His audience is always right in the thick of it, rather than just being there. Whether football, parodies, politics, or pop cultural capers — Matze is and remains the SPITZENREITER of good mood.
SPITZENREITER: A wild ride through the past, present, and the ordinary madness of our everyday life. Humorous, fast-paced, spontaneous, and always in the fast lane. Because: Who laughs, leads! And where we are is in front! Be there!
