Can a man still be a rascal at 50? Michael Altinger can. For over 30 years he has been on stage and has preserved a mischievous rascality that has long become his trademark. As a master of everyday observation, Michael Altinger relies on his relentless curiosity: He marvels at people. He is astonished by what people do, what they say – and how they say it. And often, he cannot stop being amazed.
Astonished, the rascal in the prime of life stumbles on stage through his absurd yet entertaining socio-critical reflections. The raised index finger is not his friend – self-irony, however, is – which has earned him numerous fans far beyond the Bavarian borders. The same goes for his stage presence: a showman through and through, for the energetic hothead, only one thing matters: it has to rock! Always right at the edge of the stage, Altinger talks, plays, and sings his way around his neck, constantly probing his own mental and physical limits.
As passionate as his acting on stage is, the red thread that Michael Altinger elegantly weaves into his programs is just as fine: His stories develop throughout the evening just like his stage characters, taking surprising detours and inevitably steering towards a dramatic climax. But music also plays an important role: Together with the full-blooded guitarist Andreas Rother, Michael Altinger unleashes a thick sound into the audience that matches his stage presence in terms of raw power.
Awarded the Passau Executioner's Axe and the Bavarian Cabaret Prize, known from his own TV shows "Schlachthof," "Altinger mittendrin," or "Die Komiker" as well as guest appearances in "Die Anstalt," "Nuhr im Ersten," or "SWR Spätschicht," Michael Altinger has been part of the elite of German cabaret for many years. That he also writes books, acts in theater, and has been a member of the ensembles of the Munich Lach- und Schießgesellschaft and the Lustspielhaus – these are just a few more facets of the extensive oeuvre of the busy go-getter, who always brings entertaining surprises. A rascal indeed.
The new program: Die letzte Tasse Testosteron
We have bravely mastered the story. And we toast to this with non-alcoholic Augustiner at yoga, bake our own sourdough bread after ice bathing, and almost credibly promise our wives that their future will be a fairer one. Also with us.
Just as we have found the right mindset in the downward dog, a world situation arises that cries out for yesterday: for lower combustion engines, for cold-hearted fraudsters, for big talkers and small minds, and for old truths in new media.
Who will protect us from this? Perhaps ourselves? How is that supposed to work? Before we scream for new protectors, we should strive for something else: for a hormone.
Testosterone is the cause, but also the solution! There is not much of it left. Altinger has it. In a cup. The last one.
