Stadelmann liest Höcke - ein satirischer Diskurs

Ingmar Stadelmann, a celebrated stand-up comedian, has dissected broad societal phenomena in his previous stage programs (including "#humorphob", "Fressefreiheit", "Verschissmus", and "Komm ihr klar?"). Now he turns his attention to a controversial figure trampling through the political landscape: Björn Uwe Höcke. With his satirical discourse, Stadelmann devotes himself entirely to the bizarre distortions and promises, the words and the career of the AfD leader from Thuringia.

Amidst societal explosions, many remain speechless in shock or indifference. However, some are cleaning themselves up to seize the moment. The wolf in sheep's clothing is now wearing a suit. Once a trusted teacher, Björn Höcke aspires to national frontal instruction. But even a wolf sometimes finds its hunter. Here, the populist meets the satirist.

Ingmar Stadelmann, known as the "master of the wicked word" and a virtuoso stand-up comedian, takes a closer look at the insidious "lesson preparations" of the Thuringian AfD leader, whom many say is the true head of the party, in this satirical discourse. Stadelmann wields a queer-colored red pencil and dissects published conversations and public speeches by Höcke. What is so right-extremist about Mr. Höcke, after all? He doesn't use the N-word on television, can articulate himself decently otherwise, and is neatly parted. What is found content-wise when the punchline isn’t "Bernd"? It’s these obviously fascist and nationalist ideas that the average German hasn’t heard for 70 years. Or has ignored. Ingmar Stadelmann does this true to the motto: Anti-fascism can also be fun! Let’s free ourselves from leftist moral elevation for this evening and treat ourselves to politically incorrect punchlines until the constitution glows.

Is Stadelmann about instructing? Converting? No. Those who are no longer reachable are no longer reachable. No punchline. But for those who silently observe it all… whether out of indifference or shock, this show is for them! To dissolve what is considered unbearable with humor. By the end of this show, everyone will have enough arguments. So no one can say anymore:

"We knew nothing!"

Frank Fischer - "Gagaland"

The world is upside down. To understand it, one could try to do a handstand. Or one can sit up straight and face all the madness with humor. In his new program, Frank Fischer takes you on a journey through a strange land, whose quirky inhabitants he brings to life with precise observation and fine humor. He encounters gloomy Franks, cheeky Ruhrpott ladies, and when listening to a Saxon radio commercial, he comes very close to madness.
Moreover, he explores the pressing questions of our time: Should we give artificial intelligence a chance if the natural one isn't working? Why do we unintentionally make noises as we age? And why should we be skeptical when long-distance trains are suddenly on time? Effortlessly, he connects grand world politics to the absurdities of everyday life.
Because whether it’s presidents, celebrities, or the saleswoman behind the sausage counter – they are all part of GAGALAND

Lesung am Vorabend des Autorentreffs 2026: Mit Stefanie H. Martin und Titus Müller

Stefanie H. Martin reads from the beginning of the great saga about the women of Bloomsbury:

London, 1903. While her sister Vanessa wants to study art, the highly intelligent Virginia wants only one thing: to write – in a new form, appropriate for the modern world. Together with her brothers, they establish a communal living arrangement in Bloomsbury, which soon becomes a haven of intellectual freedom and inspiration. However, the society of her time sees no life of freedom for unmarried women, and time and again, Virginia is urged to find a husband...

A surprising and thrilling novel about Virginia Woolf – an icon of literary modernity and the women’s movement.

Titus Müller reads from: The Interpreter – With facts and fiction, he tells a great story against the backdrop of historical events.

Asta works as an interpreter at the spa hotel "Palace" in Mondorf-les-Bains, where the US Army is interning captured Nazi leaders. On May 20, 1945, a new guest arrives. He brings 16 suitcases, a red hatbox, and his chamberlain. It is Hermann Göring, Commander-in-Chief of the Luftwaffe and Hitler's designated successor. Asta translates during the interrogations, then travels to Nuremberg for the trials and will be present in the courtroom every day, hearing the most abominable things and having to translate them into English. She becomes increasingly receptive to Leonhard, a young, sensitive man who gently courts her. However, his past is opaque, and he asks suspiciously many questions about the trials...

Norbert Gstrein: Im ersten Licht
Moderation: Christoph Schröder
Hall ticket 12 / 8 Euro / Streaming ticket 5 Euro / Streaming subscription 50 Euro

Eighty years, a life
Norbert Gstrein gifts us a human life. The lives portrayed are fragile in his new novel. "Im ersten Licht" (Hanser) begins with an axe blow: Adrian's father makes him unfit for World War I as a teenager, possibly saving him. The stubborn, tender person, who limps through over eighty years of life from then on, is the miracle of this narrative. Adrian sees his world collapse twice, deals with young men who were less fortunate than he was, and experiences in old age the unexpected love story of a man who was raised to do everything but love. The conversation with the author is moderated by the literary critic Christoph Schröder.

LESUNG + FOTO, FILM, MUSIK: >> ALL DAS PASSIERTE IN DIESEM IRRSINIGEN MILIEU FRANKFURT

Kenneth Hujer presents his new interview book that evening: »All das passierte in diesem irrsinnigen Milieu Frankfurt«. In it, he views the city from very different perspectives. He talks about Frankfurt as a cultural city in film, art, photography, novels, and music, on the theater stage, as a political laboratory, walking, underground, and on the couch of psychoanalysis. This creates a multi-voiced and detailed picture of the Main metropolis, capturing both personal memories and collective experiences – with a special focus on the societal and cultural upheavals of the 1960s to 1980s between student revolt, psychoanalysis, and audience cursing.

The range of conversation partners includes the writer Eva Demski, the photographer Barbara Klemm, and the pop critic Klaus Walter, as well as the politician and publicist Daniel Cohn-Bendit, the Suhrkamp editor and publisher Karlheinz Braun, and the conceptual artist Timm Ulrichs. They share memories, experiences, reports, and anecdotes and discuss considerations regarding Frankfurt's present and future.

Together with a friend author, Kenneth Hujer reads from selected interviews, shows him entrusted materials and film clips, tells about his encounters, and plays some of the Frankfurt songs featured in the book.

Ingmar Stadelmann - Stadelmann liest Höcke – ein satirischer Diskurs kurz vor der Machtergreifung

Stadelmann reads Höcke
– a satirical discourse just before the rise to power

Ingmar Stadelmann, a celebrated stand-up comedian, has dissected broad societal phenomena in his previous stage programs (including “#humorphob,” “Fressefreiheit,” “Verschissmus,” and “Komm ihr klar?”). Now, he targets a controversial figure trampling through the political landscape: Björn Uwe Höcke.
With his satirical discourse, Stadelmann wholly dedicates himself to the bizarre distortions and promises, the words and the career of the AfD leader from Thuringia.

Amidst societal explosions, many remain speechless in shock or indifference. However, some dress up to seize the moment. The wolf in sheep's clothing now wears a suit. Once a trusted teacher, Björn Höcke aspires to national frontal instruction. But a wolf sometimes meets his hunter. Here, the populist meets the satirist.

Ingmar Stadelmann, known as the “master of the evil word” and a virtuoso stand-up comedian, takes a closer look at the insidious “lesson preparations” of the Thuringian AfD chief, of whom many say he is the true head of the party. Stadelmann employs his rainbow-colored red pencil and dissects conversations published in book form as well as Höcke’s public speeches. What is so right-wing extremist about Mr. Höcke anyway? After all, he doesn’t use the N-word on television, knows how to articulate himself decently otherwise, and is neatly parted. What can one find content-wise when the punchline isn’t “Bernd”? It’s these obviously fascistic and nationalist ideas that the average German hasn’t heard for 70 years. Or has ignored. Ingmar Stadelmann does this true to the motto: Anti-fascism can be fun too! Let’s free ourselves from leftist moral superiority for this evening and indulge in politically incorrect punchlines until the Basic Law glows.

Is Stadelmann about educating? Converting? No. Those who can no longer be reached cannot be reached anymore. No punchline. But for those who watch the whole thing speechless… whether out of indifference or shock, this show is for them! To dissolve what is considered unbearable with humor. By the end of this show, everyone will have enough arguments. So no one can say:
“We knew nothing about it!”

In over 20 years on stage, Frank Fischer has developed a unique perspective on everyday life and his fellow human beings. Seemingly trivial situations suddenly turn into hilarious stories that he brings to life with parodistic skill and precise facial expressions.
And because it would be a shame for all the funny stories from the past eight shows to disappear into the humor moth box, he has pulled out his favorite numbers, polished them up, and made them more appealing. And he was even amazed - for over 20 years he has been making people laugh. Quite funny.

Press Reviews

"With profound and biting humor, Frank Fischer showcased comedy at its finest. The audience, gasping for breath from laughter, only let him leave the stage after three encores."

Morgenpost Speyer

"The mix that Fischer presents is something quite unique, dynamic, and fresh. Long applause and two encores."

Göttinger Tageblatt

"Frank Fischer appeared as a top-class comedian with a good rapport with the audience."

Fränkische Nachrichten

"Great."

Nordhannoversche Zeitung

"Fischer's ideas are sometimes quirky, and his neural thought patterns on certain topics are astonishing. Just as the audience has somewhat familiarized itself with a depicted situation, the cabaret artist lands the next bizarre thought, and the realization of the grotesque situation dissolves into liberating laughter."

Wertheimer Zeitung

"Cabaret artist and comedian Frank Fischer was the reason that many a visitor almost choked because they forgot to breathe while tears of laughter ran down their face."

Frankfurter Neue Presse

"Frank Fischer completely captivated the audience."

Südkurier

"A worthwhile evening. The applause seemed almost endless."

Frank Goosen - Lovely Rita

Myself and His Books
An Evening with Frank Goosen and His Best Pages

According to his teachers, he may have been "a lazy dog" in school, but as an author, Frank Goosen is quite diligent. The avowed inhabitant of the Ruhr area, passionate football fan, and convinced family man has published five novels, a collection of stories, three collections of funny stories, and a Christmas book in the past thirteen years. His books are among the funniest available in Germany, yet Goosen always stays close to his characters. In "Liegen lernen," he amusingly reminded us of love in the 1980s, somewhere between petting and Pershing. In "So viel Zeit," he proved that hard rock beyond forty is still possible. "Weil Samstag ist" humorously depicts the troubles and highs of all football fans. And in "Radio Heimat" or "Sommerfest," he celebrates the area he comes from with subtle irony and sometimes quite powerful wit.

"Myself and His Books" offers a cross-section of all these works, from apple shampoo and Nicaragua to stadium curses and stadium beer, to basement parties and highway romance. Goosen reads from his best pages.

Come all!
