Ralf Senkel - Der hat gesessen!
DER HAT GESESSEN!
A type, observed, sits and tells. A philosopher of everyday life. Sometimes comically hilarious, sometimes so precisely in his observations that you believe you are in a cabaret.
Ralf Senkel wanders between the boundaries of comedy and cabaret, and although he is always seated on stage, he does not permanently occupy a genre. It is up to the audience to recognize this balancing act. Linguistically and in spirit, equipped with a large portion of the Rhineland, he travels with you into his little world.
In his village, he is as famous as a colorful dog, not only because of his incomparably fashionable jacket that he really always wears. Nevertheless – he claims he has "metabolic issues," even though that is exactly what people say about him.
Ralf's so-called "professional inactivity" gives him time to observe. Therefore, his stories are drawn straight from everyday life, sometimes quirky, sometimes serious, always sharply captured and, importantly: incredibly funny. Unintentionally funny? "No, I do it willingly!"
Ralf Senkel is among the winners of the Tegtmeiers Erben Audience Award 2023, the Dattelner and Kremenholler Small Art Awards. Furthermore, he is a regular guest at the Midnight Highlights on WDR television and a guest in the shows of the Quatsch Comedy Club. Experience the no longer so secret tip of the comedy and cabaret scene in his first solo program – “Der hat gesessen!”
Ralf Senkel comes, sits down, and tells... and afterward, you will say: “Der hat gesessen!” - promised.
Press Reviews:
...With critical observations on common quirks of today, whether excessive online shopping or selfie mania, Ralf Senkel hit the nail on the head. In his role as a "professionally inactive" contemporary, who has not been at the workplace for years due to back problems, he didn’t come off as a mood-maker, but he combined sharp observation with brilliant gags.
He mocked in his Kölsch dialect that the selfie addict even takes pictures of himself at his mother’s coffin and posts the image on social networks. "Nowadays everything is photographed, but no one makes an image," he noted...
