Das Geld liegt auf der Fensterbank, Marie - Nummernschieben
The money is on the windowsill, Marie has been exciting audiences for 10 years with their own form of cabaret. When the real-fictional couple isn’t entertainingly and virtuously chatting away, they present word-juggling songs and poems. They manage to easily balance between comedy and socially critical profundity.
Friedolin Müller and Wiebke Eymess are "fantastic musicians, uproariously funny comedians and situational humorists, word acrobats and eager debaters, and together they perform a wonderfully delightful parody of the young academic couple of today. Loriot in the 21st century." (Passauer NP)
In the anniversary program Number Swapping, the duo presents all their favorite pieces. Including never-before-performed texts and songs from the poison cupboard. At least theoretically. Because the two cannot agree on the selection of numbers. But the program must be finished so that their children have something to eat. So they let their fans vote on their favorite pieces. They can't agree either. There’s no way around it: The two from the windowsill must swap numbers!
And by the end of the evening, everyone will be asking again: Was that rehearsed or improvised? Private or political? Is it art - or are they talking about me?

PRESS REVIEWS
“Dialogues full of subtle wordplay and brilliant arguments. Philosophical, educational and always uproariously funny. A program that is staged and composed like a total work of art. Wonderful entertainment art.” Main-Echo
“Wiebke Eymess and Friedolin Müller are everything in one. They are both fantastic musicians, they are uproariously funny comedians and situational humorists, they are word acrobats and eager debaters, and they perform a wonderfully delightful parody of the young academic couple of today. Loriot in the 21st century.” Passauer Neue Presse
“Puns, clever comedy, bitter irony, and heartwarming sensitivity. Their program, celebrated with thunderous applause, is never just cabaret, does not tread the well-worn paths of comedy, and is certainly not a song evening. Hardly is a genre trap in sight, it is elegantly bypassed. The rising stars of the cabaret scene genuinely generate something of their own, fresh, intelligent, and very funny.” Kieler Nachrichten
“The linguistic acrobatics occasionally reach the level of Kurt Tucholsky and Robert Gernhardt.” Erlanger Nachrichten
“With their seemingly effortlessly relaxed but in truth quite cunning demeanor, they infuse seemingly harmless chansons with entirely not harmless punchlines. Within a verse, a playfully worded love song can transform into an ecological protest song.” Bayrischer Rundfunk, radioSpitzen, Thomas Koppelt
“Odd and unique. This Hanoverian duo has developed its own style of cabaret: virtuosic and playful, musical and chanson-esque, affectionate and simultaneously biting. The couple jokes and banters through the evening, repeatedly singing their songs, melodious, with big voices and played on guitar, ukulele, accordion, mini-keyboard, and more. No wonder the two are so well received. They have found each other: it’s wonderful to accompany them.” Neue Presse Hannover
“Text and timing are spot on with the necessary accuracy and ease, which is certainly no easy task with the rapid-fire witty and equally clever yet convoluted dialogues. Wiebke and Friedolin argue about the way to paradise, the pros and cons of rural versus urban life, meat consumption and vegetarianism, togetherness and self-realization, powerfully throwing their gender roles at each other while singing wonderful songs again and again. Celebrated preview.” Kieler Nachrichten
Wiebke Eymess and Friedolin Müller skillfully circle their themes and enchant their audience with refreshing ease and clever wordplay. The duo’s chansons, in their simplicity and intelligent humor, are something special. Whether romantic love declarations with guitar and ukulele or occasionally with a not entirely serious minimal accompaniment on the old 80s Casio mini-keyboard, the songs of “The money is on the windowsill, Marie” are refreshingly musical, full of romance, and simply funny. The Bad Hersfeld audience followed these intelligent dialogues with great amusement and rewarded the successful preview of “Paradise Side” with prolonged, thunderous applause. Hersfelder Zeitung
The two manage to balance socially critical themes and the private sphere while crafting wonderfully quirky dialogues. Politics always starts at home. Smart wordplay and political commentary are interwoven with emotional worlds that couples easily slip into. Listening is key here; it’s charming entertainment, focusing on entertainment rather than knee-slappers. With melancholic-sad poems and songs that unfold their own unique humor, they entertain without getting loud. Mühldorf OVB
It’s actually an old hat when a couple stands on a stage and talks about marriage and cohabitation as a man and woman. “The money is on the windowsill, Marie” is different. The duo skillfully intertwines the well-known clichés with self-irony, nonsense, and above all, a healthy dose of social criticism. In doing so, the duo creates an unexpected depth in the program, offering variation to the sometimes very serious content. Mainzer Allgemeine Zeitung
