WEIHNACHTEN MIT LILLI - »Stringeling…«

Christmas with Lilli! The preparations for the festive season are in full swing. And Lilli is already turning the wheel vigorously! Cheer, bustle, and merriment are right around the corner, Lilli's very own "trinity".

The scent of cinnamon biscuits and mulled wine, combined with Lilli's unique Advent stories about clove-studded orange peel or the aroma of baking as a substitute for perfume, will make you forget the chase for the ultimate gift for a moment. Lilli conjures cinnamon stars from the sky, opens her freshly baked honey cake heart, and melts every snowdrift with it.

Sympathetically cheeky and with a rhetorical barrage, no topic is off-limits. Can you bake with heatwaves? Can you shoot sparrows with snow cannons? And who actually calculates the Christmas man's route?

One thing is for sure: things will definitely heat up when Lilli pulls out her rod! And she will definitely shoot down one or two birds!

Weltkritik - "Weihnachten - ein alter Sack bringt`s noch"

Whoever wants to receive something for Christmas must recite a poem or sing a song. No panic! We will take care of that for you. And we look forward to your gifts.
We are putting Christmas to the test:
How can the celebration be optimized?
Does a little helper need to be paid the minimum wage?
When will the feast of love finally go public?
And can't Santa Claus take something back in his sack after giving, e.g., Aunt Gisela?!
Despite all the problems, we say “Yes!” to Christmas and invite you all. With us, everyone gets a warm spot.
Weltkritik deluxe - that's Bettina Prokert and Maxim Hofmann from Leipzig. The duo has been touring Germany, Austria, and Switzerland for 15 years, has already won 10 cabaret awards, and the press writes: “Entertaining, hilarious, tear-jerking.”

The audience says:
“The music part was my husband's favorite.” or “Funny.”

Weltkritik - “Mood is our second name!”

Heinz Gröning - Verschollen im Weihnachtsstollen 25.0

For the anniversary in 2025, a new heavenly funny version, Heinz Point 25, that even brings tears of laughter to the angels' eyes. Completely renewed and additionally sprinkled with 25% of the best gags from 25 years.

For 25 years "Every Year Again" and again and again, every year a little bit more Christmas cheer. The legend among X-Mas comedy programs is very much alive. Heinz Gröning has been performing "VERSCHOLLEN IM WEIHNACHTSSTOLLEN" longer than some relationships in Germany last.
A deep bow to everything that makes this unique highlight of the year so unmistakable. Even the biggest Christmas grumps enjoy immensely Heinz Gröning's surprising parodies from Elvis Presley to Herbert Grönemeyer to Shirin David and Rolf Zuckowski.

With profound stand-up texts, crisp acting scenes with inimitable facial expressions, and skillful choreographies to captivating songs, Heinz ignites a stream of gags that blissfully unites men and women under the Christmas tree and brings the whole family a joyful pre-Christmas season.

The balance: In 25 years, more than 40,000 spectators have laughed more than 50 million times in 307 performances, and for many people, attending the comedy program before the holiday has become just as important and indispensable as the tree in the living room, the decorative lights on the kitchen window, and the obligatory family dispute while decorating the Christmas tree.

Weiner´s Heihnacht

The Return Of The Highnite Brothers

The not-so-reflective summit meeting in Christmas jazz is back. The two renowned WDR Jazz award winners Heiner Schmitz and Simon Oslender meet the exceptional musicians Alexander Lipan and Alex Parzhuber to celebrate the release of their now third album of
»Weiner´s Heihnacht«. Here, jazz standards like »Cute« are combined with Christmas classics like »Schneeflöckchen“ into a unique mélange, always swinging, grooving, or with a jazzily sparkling glaze. At the request of the audience, long-awaited global hits like »Lars Krismess« and »Possible Christmas Supersonic« have now made their way to the music stand, the »Winterland wonders« and above all, the question still remains: Is there enough »Gin in the Chalice«?

Tödliche Weihnacht

X-Mas Show with Live Band

Every year, the Christian world celebrates a birth. Yuck, says Death. But since every beginning also contains an end, he personally invites you this year to a Christmas special version of his award-winning comedy program. After all, he is on a major image campaign and even Death shouldn't completely shut himself off from the festival of love. Thus, scythe cookies will be tasted, fallen Christmas trees and roasted geese will be sung about, and gingerbread will be outed as discriminatory.

Joining him are Mautzi, the Grim Reaper's right hand, the live band "Die Höllenhunde," and many new friends who want to "experience" Christmas in a completely different way with the audience. In a black robe and similarly colored humor, the double winner of the Paulaner Solos addresses his viewers, reports on the winter sales in the afterlife, shows pictures from his private photo album, and sings hauntingly beautiful Christmas classics that take on a whole new meaning coming from his mouth. Because someone like him can't completely leave the dark season to life even at Christmas.

With wit and charm, Death confronts the taboo topic of our modern society. "A Grim Reaper to laugh to death!" (Süddeutsche Zeitung)

Tante Käthe Die Weihnachtsshow für Groß und Klein

THE CHRISTMAS SHOW FOR BIG AND SMALL
When the Christmas tree smiles at us and the bell goes Ding Dong, Ruprecht arrives quietly... But he doesn’t come alone! On his journey, he has picked up the Cologne live band "Tante Käthe." The professional musicians have already worked with music greats like Celine Dion and Udo Jürgens and now present a colorful and wonderful mix of German and international Christmas songs.
In the first part of the show, the audience experiences the more contemplative tones. From the classic "Oh Du Fröhliche" to the Bublé swing version of "Santa Claus is coming to town," the musical versatility of the live band shines through.
In the second part, it gets much more lively with Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" and Brenda Lee's "Rocking around the Christmas Tree," and of course, singing and dancing along is encouraged. The "Christmas Bakery" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" must not be missed, and in the end, we all wish for "Feliz Navidad"!
"Tante Käthe" presents this extraordinary show with special effects and sing-along parts on a festively decorated stage with Christmas trees, fairy lights, etc. Who knows, maybe Santa Claus himself will drop by and give a little concert for the audience.

Bidla Buh - Weihnachts-Special - Advent, Advent, der Kaktus brennt...

The Christmas Special of Bidla Buh

When the three mismatched brothers Hans Torge, Ole, and Frederick meet for the 'Festival of Love', the Advent season turns into a wild and absurd sleigh ride through the Christmas song repertoire.
The Hamburg boys present themselves as a classical boys' choir or recorder trio, stunning with a lively tap dance to Bing Crosby's "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" and celebrating the Christmas feast as a virtuoso performance on plates and pots.
All around, contemplative home music echoes: Hans Torge endears himself to all mothers-in-law with his festive jubilation trumpet and the marzipan melting in his voice. The sensitive Ole muses on his flattering jazz guitar about the seductive aura of Santa Claus, while the otherwise stoically drumming clumsy Frederick protests with a socially critical expression dance against the annually recurring shopping terror.
Additionally, the resourceful guys offer some practical tips for the holidays, such as the ultimate 'Gift Advisor' or a fitness rock 'n roll to shed those pesky Christmas pounds.
As a crowning finale, numerous illustrious guests have announced their attendance for the celebration: Udo Lindenberg, the Rolling Stones, and Heino provide insights into the biggest hits from their Christmas shows, the gifted chamber singer Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau interprets Loriot's Advent poem as a hauntingly virtuosic art song, and finally, George Michael performs the hearty "Last Christmas" march with his choir of Santas.
Christmas at Bidla Buh, what a present!
