1000 voices in his head, but the diagnosis simply states: great art. In his new, fast-paced and comedic program, parodist, voice artist, comedian, and entertainer Thomas Nicolai changes characters as swiftly as Klaus Kinski changed his mood. The freedom of assembly also applies under the skull, and so the personified "Kessel Buntes" again entangles all kinds of characters in scenes that sometimes provide unorthodox assistance in everyday life, sometimes bring out the strangest things, sometimes let historical events pass in review, and usually end up escalating quite foolishly.
There are misunderstandings on all levels: even remarks by Herbert Grönemeyer raise more questions than answers. Or is he secretly sending satanic messages? Is there ultimately a higher power? If so, can one be on a first-name basis with it? Riddles upon riddles, starting with the title of the program: KAMISI - what is that even? A stage name, a trick? An acronym? And what is an acronym anyway? Questions upon questions. Does this perhaps stand for KAlauer MIt SInn?
It certainly fits the illness that with the railway, it is increasingly nerves instead of tracks that are frayed. Understandable when Thomas Nicolai demonstrates what they suffer from the most: their clientele. From hard-of-hearing grandmas to children without manners and tipsy ladies' clubs. And speaking of which. With documentary zeal, the joke-self-sufficient (almost the balcony power plant of good spirits) traces international clichés, finding access to the most exotic growing regions through winemakers and wine lovers, turning wine barrels into pitfalls, and causing them to overflow with tipsy ease. Was television better in the past? Is it true that the 80s are mainly stored in our brains, especially in our gray matter? Why is it that the pullover icon Patrick Schleifer from Schkeuditz is the last hope of entertainment?
No Thomas Nicolai comedy show would be complete without his loving and otherwise quite ear-splitting music parodies in detail. Between Coldplay and Country, Max Raabe and Vamos a la Playa, between Modern Talking and modern electronic sounds, the ear canal and laughter muscles are equally put to the test. The "säggsi" bard is once again accompanied by the congenially virtuosic long-time stage partner and keyboardist Robert Neumann, who, with his own enthusiasm, willingly allows himself to be involved in every joke and to be made fun of.
Whether as a KAuz, MIme, SImulant, or eternal rogue, Thomas Nicolai is brutal in highlighting typical aspects of our dear contemporaries to mock them, whether prominent or not. In the end, there are laughs upon laughs and the certainty that 1000 voices are better off with him than with some election candidates.
