Frau Höpker bittet zum Gesang - Das Mitsingkonzert

The big RE-SINGING

She is back - after 6 years, Frau Höpker is finally making a stop at Ringlokschuppen again and invites you to sing!
Frau Höpker is a singing phenomenon. Since 2008, the one-woman show has been delighting her audience with a musical singing experience that is more than just "singing together."
Live at the piano, without a net and double bottom, the charming artist quickly brings together a large choir and sings through an almost inexhaustible repertoire with them.
Whether oldies, folk songs, hits, almost forgotten songs, or one of her popular medleys: Frau Höpker's program just clicks. With her unique blend of skill, creativity, charisma, and intuition, she hits right in the heart night after night and uplifts the soul!
Sing along!

Entry to the venue: 7 PM

Tickets may still be available at the box office.

Marlene Helling - DEEP SEA BABY
1/30/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

DEEP SEA BABY dives into a world that remains hidden from most people – cold, slow, and unimaginably deep. And yet it comes into the sights of capitalist exploitation: The deep sea – even here, 4000 to 6000 meters below sea level, companies want to extract raw materials, specifically manganese nodules. The International Seabed Authority manages this common "heritage of mankind" and decides on the regulations for potential extraction. Sea cucumbers, CEOs, and the Patania II manganese nodule collector are just a few of the actors in deep-sea mining. 

With sound and video, the performance questions the mechanisms of progress – and the possibility of thinking, feeling, and existing differently. What if we approached the depths of the oceans not as a resource, but as a space of resonance?

An immersive, polyphonic stage event by Marlene Helling and team – somewhere between science fiction, reality shock, and the poetic disturbance of the logic of growth.

Doors open: 7 PM

Wenn’s stinkt und kracht ist’s Wissenschaft - Umwelt
2/1/2026 at 3:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

Konrad Stöckel, the lively science comedian with the Albert Einstein hairstyle, known from many TV and live shows, including "Immer wieder Sonntags" on ARD and the "3Sat Festival," delights us in his new program once again with a crashing fireworks display of the craziest live experiments for the whole family!

That science can be really fun, we know at the latest since his last successful show around physical phenomena and largely unresolved secrets so far.

His topic this time: Our environment. So everything related to us and the world around us! In this amusing and spectacular science show, Konrad uncovers many secrets that we have been pondering for a long time. All of this and much more he demonstrates with absurd experiments, astonishing effects for learning and laughter, and as always with full physical commitment.

The most exciting questions of this evening: Can Konrad actually make glass shatter with his bell-clear voice? What does carbon dioxide have to do with global warming? Can four people build a super-stable bridge? Is plain water suitable as a rocket fuel - and does it extinguish all fires? Can Konrad magically make three audience members float on stage? With high pressure, he also explores low-pressure areas and reveals what alcohol has to do with the weather…

All of this and much more he shows us with absurd experiments, astonishing effects for learning and laughter, and as always with full physical commitment!

Atmosphere!

Herr Schmickler bitte!
2/6/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

In his new program it says: “Herr Schmickler bitte!”, and he gladly follows this call: with his mix of spoken word, lyrical poems, and expressive singing, he continues to get worked up about social grievances and injustices in this world.

WILFRIED SCHMICKLER aims to entertain seriously, grumble cheerfully, uplift the audience for the whole evening, with cascades of texts, tirades of mockery, and songs of derision.

With his call for more tolerance and compassion, he will continue to contribute to the "friendliness of the world"!

WILFRIED SCHMICKLER has received the 4 most important cabaret awards: PRIX PANTHEON, DEUTSCHER KABARETTPREIS, DEUTSCHER KLEINKUNSTPREIS, and SALZBURGER STIER! He was part of the WDR midnight peaks for almost 30 years (“Stop it Mr. Becker”), and every Monday just before 11, he poses the “Monday Question” on WDR 2.

2/13/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

Powerful like never before, the fantastic lead actress of her own life tells and sings brand new stories. Her unmistakable invention – Dinglish, a poetic and pointed mix of German and English – stretches from Brockton – via Buffalo, Broadway, and Bielefeld – to Berlin.
The American entertainer and singer shares 7 nights that changed her life – a glance, a tone, a movement – and everything is different! Charming and humorous, with self-irony and strength, quirky perspectives and depth. As a first-class performer, she is glamorous, untamedly passionate, and pulsating. Gayle Tufts is a hit. And she rocks the important themes of here and now.
An evening full of newly interpreted classics, fresh songs, and surprising stories.

She is supported by the musical accompaniment of her stage partner and playmate – the award-winning film and television composer Marian Lux.

Doors open at 7 PM.

Édith Voges Nana Tchuinang - Gretas Metamorphose
3/13/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

Dear Franz,

In The Metamorphosis you pose a question to which you give no answer. A seemingly simple question:

“Why is she crying?”

Twice Gregor wonders why his sister, Grete, is crying.
I have read this sentence multiple times and found no answer in your text.
I have been wondering about this for so long and will now ask Grete myself.

Your Milena

___

“Why is Grete crying?” - this question remains unanswered in Kafka's famous text "The Metamorphosis," no one seems to be interested in her perspective. Grete's voice is missing, as are the responses from Milena in her correspondence with Kafka.
In Édith Nana's new play, they step into the light. The metamorphosis of women* becomes perceptible for the audience in a theatrical experience parcours.

"Gretas Metamorphose - Die Frau gegen die Maschine" is a project by Édith Voges Nana Tchuinang in co-production with Ringlokschuppen Ruhr and Theater im Depot, Dortmund. Funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia as well as the NRW Landesbüro Freie Darstellende Künste e.V..

Bis jetzt
4/10/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

Teresa Reichl is now almost 30 and has not achieved any of the goals she set for herself at 16. No house, no man, no children. Instead, a girlfriend and a three-legged cat. And a stage instead of teaching. How are you supposed to notice that you're an adult when you earn your money with jokes? And how are you supposed to earn money with jokes when you suddenly have depression?

Life is colorful when you build all your milestones yourself, drive from a performance to therapy, and don’t have to panic about accidentally getting pregnant.

Life is also wild when you're navigating between a village and a big city, between roast pork and iced latte with oat milk, between classic literature and TikTok trends.

And then suddenly the studies are over and you have to choose which insurances you want, even though it feels like just yesterday you were legally an adult. It’s no wonder that Teresa prefers to experience nothing in her private life – and still has enough to tell.

Tan Caglar - Der Teufel trägt Rollstuhl
4/11/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

With his new solo program, multitalent Tan Caglar is going on a tour in Germany.

After the great success of "Geht nicht - Gibts nicht," Tan now follows up as Caglar Tan (Tschalar Tan) with "Der Teufel trägt Rollstuhl" in hellishly good fashion.
"I needed over 40 years to realize that I am a charlatan when you first say my last name and then my first name. Too bad that Corona is over because I actually wanted to call my next program 'Sagrotan.'”

With his usual charm and a slightly sharper tongue than before, Tan entertains his audience with stories and tricks of everyday life. One thing is for sure: In his stand-up, not only is he sitting, but so are his jokes.

Froschkönigin
4/25/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

Froschkönigin - Twenty Years La Signora

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was always unlucky.
And since she hasn't died, she still is today."

The roach of Kalauer is celebrating its twentieth anniversary on stage!
Trapped in the claws of the evil witch Audience, she drags herself onto the stage every evening
and shakes the laughs out of Frau Hölle’s damp bed linen.
But no little table that sets itself. No prince to kiss her.
Even the big bad wolf makes a wide circle around Haarnetzchen.
So after each show, she sits at the edge of the well of failure and spins - but unfortunately not gold,
but new gags for her anniversary show: Froschkönigin.
Good used laughs from yesterday. Swaying from today and daydreams of tomorrow.
But does La Signora finally let her hair down after twenty years?

A fairy-tale anniversary with a happy ending for all.
Twenty years La Signora! Twenty years of laughter!
Celebrate with La Signora..... until the prince arrives.

Carmela De Feo alias La Signora is a German comedienne from the Ruhr area with
Italian roots. She completed her accordion studies from 1993-1996 at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen with Prof. Mie Miki. Awarded with the most important cabaret prizes
like the "German Cabaret Prize" (2022), "Bavarian Cabaret Prize" (2011), "Stuttgart Besen" (2009), Leipzig Dandelion (2019) among others, Carmela De Feo has been successfully touring the republic for 20 years. "Froschkönigin" is her 9th solo program.

MÜLHEIM ABSTURZ RUHR
Power, Billions, Minimum Security
thecodes – theatercompany dennis schwabenland

In April 2018, the multi-billionaire and heir of the German Tengelmann Group, Karl-Erivan Haub, disappeared under mysterious circumstances during a ski tour at the Klein Matterhorn. His body has yet to be found. Haub's disappearance attracted immense media attention and sparked wild speculation about a possible double life and dubious business connections to Russia.

Far less in the focus of reporting then as today: Nearly 20 years earlier, Haub, during radical restructuring measures of the company, had dismissed more than 25,000 employees. Among them was the father of Dennis Schwabenland, a director, author, and actor from Mülheim. The reason: He allegedly purchased a camping chair 50 pfennigs too expensively as a central buyer at the Mülheim location on the Rhine. To reduce the severance pay, he was also accused of bribery – wrongly, as later became indisputable. For him and his family, this meant a plunge into social welfare.

The play paints an accurate picture of the economic fallout by using real voices – including extensive interviews with Schwabenland's parents – and how deeply it interferes with biographies. Direct, documentary, urgent.

In addition, the garden chair Piccolo II, TV judge Barbara Salesch, and J.R. Ewing from Dallas appear as unexpected crown witnesses in Schwabenland's documentary counterattack "Mülheim Absturz Ruhr." They frame two crashes that could hardly be more contrasting – and reveal the mechanisms of power, blame, and social exclusion.

A ruthless confrontation with classism, job loss, and the fragility of social belonging.

Make the world laugh a little better

For the finale of his current program, René Steinberg will go radical one last time: radically funny, cheerful, optimistic, colorful - and has undoubtably fun in view. Because it's enough! We’ve had enough of seriousness, anger, complaining, and shouting at the traffic light. Therefore, he calls for a great system change: let’s make the world laugh a little better now and here!
Steinberg is convinced: Where the fun is, there’s the way. In everyday life, in relationships, in education, with difficult children and embarrassing parents, in social interaction and in politics. We have to dare more fun! And it begins with an evening full of enjoyment! Immerse yourself completely in a live experience of a special kind: diverse, surprising, profound, and interactive. Laugh yourself fit and radicalize yourself as Steinberg calls for urgently needed fun measures. With double punch!

Zusammenhaltestelle
10/2/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

Zusammenhaltestelle - The new program by Sebastian 23

Anyone who greets someone with "Good day" today is considered a naive smooth-talker and a utopian dreamer. Many have forgotten that a conversation can be even more beautiful than insulting strangers on the internet. So, why not take the risk of talking to people who have a different opinion than we do? Perhaps we will learn something and move forward together. Otherwise, we just go home and insult each other online.

Sebastian 23 says far more than "Good day." The comedian, poetry slammer, activist, and bestselling author presents his tenth solo program with Zusammenhaltestelle.
And since I am an advertising text, I’ll say it outright: Sebastian 23 rightly won the German Cabaret Award in early 2025, has stood on thousands of stages – and hundreds of thousands follow him for his daily satirical contributions on social media.

Zusammenhaltestelle is, however, more than a cabaret program – it is a plea for optimism, empathy, and the courage to explore new paths together. That sounds like pathos, which desperately needs to be ironically broken. Or is this just a communicative trick? Let's find out together!

The book of the same name, Zusammenhaltestelle, will be published in March 2026 by bene-Verlag.

Ralf Senkel - Der hat gesessen!
10/3/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

DER HAT GESESSEN!
A guy, observes, sits and tells stories. An everyday philosopher. Sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, sometimes so pinpoint accurate in his observations that you feel like you're sitting in a cabaret.

Ralf Senkel wanders between the borders of comedy and cabaret, and although he always sits on stage, he does not permanently occupy any genre. It is up to the audience to recognize this balancing act. Linguistically and in spirit, equipped with a large portion of Rhineland, he travels with you into his little world.

In his village, he is as well-known as a colorful dog, not only because of his incomparably fashionable jacket, which he really always wears. Nevertheless – he claims he doesn't have "metabolic issues," even though that's precisely what people say about him.

Ralf's so-called "professional inactivity" gives him time to observe. Hence his stories are drawn from everyday life, sometimes quirky, sometimes serious, always sharp-witted and, importantly: incredibly funny. Unintentionally funny? "No, I do this voluntarily!"

Ralf Senkel is among the winners of the Tegtmeiers Erben Audience Award 2023, the Datteln and Kremenholl Small Arts Awards. In addition, he is a regular guest at the Mitternachtsspitzen on WDR Television and featured in the shows of the Quatsch Comedy Club.

Experience the not-so-secret insider tip of the comedy and cabaret scene in his first solo program – "Der hat gesessen!"

Ralf Senkel comes, sits, and tells... and afterwards you'll say: "Der hat gesessen!" - promised.

ENDLICH GLÜCKLICH
10/16/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

So far, many people did not know where Florian Schroeder stands. Now he doesn't know it himself anymore. But one thing he knows: He is happy with it. And he wants you to be happy too. Because being happy is the greatest, yes, perhaps the last provocation that remains in a time when everyone tries to one-up each other in complaining, grumbling, shouting, bickering, and stirring up trouble.

When the crazies spread fear and terror, when the apocalypse comes three times a day, then it takes someone like him who simply encourages bravery. Finally happy – that is Schroeder's mantra. Of course the world is out of joint – but his is not. And yours doesn't have to be either.

With Schroeder, everything's going well: Everything is in butter, everything is safe, everything is guaranteed to be double and triple secured. The building savings contract, the life insurance, the girlfriend. Whoever has that much happiness wants to share it – but not with everyone and not with every person – so definitely not on social media. But with friends – because friends tell each other everything. With them, you can laugh and cry, celebrate and mourn. They hug you and tell you the truth – even if it hurts. Florian Schroeder wants to be your friend.

Only together are we strong, only together can we defeat the evil out there. Florian Schroeder wants to show you how you can be happy – and not in two weeks, two months, or two years, but in two hours. Why wait any longer? The moment is now.

But how long can this last? Isn’t happiness also finite? And what comes after? Schroeder will answer that for you.

Der fliehende Holländer
11/6/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

Der fliehende Holländer

The Dutch cabaret artist PATRICK NEDERKOORN has been seen on stages in Germany for several years now. In his second German-language program DER FLIEHENDE HOLLÄNDER, he shares his amazement and experiences with his large neighboring country. Why do Germans have so many dirty sayings? Are there more speeders or regulations in Germany? And why is the German tax program called “Elster” like a thieving bird?

DER FLIEHENDE HOLLÄNDER is a refreshingly funny and musical program where personal stories are linked to current topics. The cabaret artist from Amsterdam talks in a sympathetic, disarming, and witty way about boundaries, love, family, and taxes.
And about how to bridge differences between people. Simply the funniest form of understanding between nations.

Patrick Nederkoorn is known from the SAT.1 show DIE BESTEN COMEDIANS DEUTSCHLANDS - and as a Dutchman, that means something. With his first program DIE ORANGENE GEFAHR, he was nominated for the PRIX PANTHEON and won the KOMIKER JACKPOT.

DER FLIEHENDE HOLLÄNDER is a collaboration with the Kom(m)ödchen in Düsseldorf.

2. Mülheimer Lachnacht
11/7/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

On November 7, 2026, there will be laughter again in Mülheim an der Ruhr! A fantastic mix of cabaret and comedy awaits you once more!

This year's moderation of the evening will again be handled by the fantastic Ole Lehmann, "the voice" of the Quatsch Comedy Club and a long-time host of Lachnacht! When Ole is in top form, there’s no stopping him - not even among the colleagues who are regularly thrilled to be introduced by him and share the stage with him. He brings along a load of the funniest comedians and cabaret artists from the republic, and the evening promises to be a fireworks display of small arts once again! The selected guests for this show are:

HG. Butzko, who started doing cabaret 25 years ago, now dares to take a look at the warning letters of the last quarter-century, revealing that it's time to take stock and settle accounts with the tricksters and deceivers, the blind and bluffer, the elected and the voters, the butchers and calves. And that’s why the Gelsenkirchen brain pacemaker of German cabaret shines a light on all the lies, cover-ups, and false promises of the last 25 years from politics, economics, and media. Not all of it, though. Because then the program would last four days.

Vera Deckers, as a psychologist, observes her environment and it seems that narcissists have taken over: packaging is more important than content. Attention is the global currency. Only those online truly exist – and the loudest wins. Helicopter parents consider sugar as the new heroin. Teenagers toil as influencers in the YouTube strip mine. Self-improvers pay for steps, burps, and nighttime snoring. Such times create self-doubt: Can cabaret be in tune with the times when you don’t even have a pulse monitor? But the trained psychologist also finds reassuring aspects. Scientific studies show: occasional drinkers live longer than people who don’t drink alcohol at all!

Roger Stein offers riveting music-themed entertainment, mixing comedy songs, songwriting, and post-romance. With powerful versatility, self-irony, and charm, he multi-instrumentally and rhyme-loaded performs through his program, providing a fiery guide to disciplined revolutionism without finger-pointing – but certainly not without some middle fingers! With sharp rhyme techniques, he explores the depths of satire and poetry, pulling the ground from simple metaphors beneath their feet and letting language unleash itself. He skillfully combines hip-hop elements with German song tradition, thus creating his very own music style.

Nektarios Vlachopoulos is a slam poet and humorist, a former German teacher with a Greek integration background, and in times when the respectable bourgeoisie craves simple solutions in the face of an increasingly faster, louder, and more confusing world, he finally makes no clear statement. The quicksilver diploma hobby lexicographer and hard-hitting street cabaret artist references the fringe societal issues of the outer middle class. “A very clear no!” is the manifesto of non-commitment. A carefully hewn recommendation for cautious action for indecisive dogmatists. The program-formed ambivalence of the denied contradiction on the opposite day. A must-see for anyone who doesn’t want to. So get your pens out and set them down, you can procrastinate tomorrow. Nektarios is now calling it straight! Or maybe not. He’s not so sure about that…

Auf Augenhöhe
11/15/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

Jonas Greiner combines sharp observations from everyday life and cheeky, ironic social criticism with high-quality and refreshing humor. Intelligent, surprising, funny – a unique mix that promises the best entertainment!

“Auf Augenhöhe” is the third solo program of the 28-year-old comedian. With his thoughts on the absurdity of everyday life, the nonsense of modern times, and the madness of the world, he shows how important it is to take things with humor. Jonas Greiner does not shy away from any topic. Stand-up comedy and satire in touch with the times. The main thing is to laugh. The main thing is to be together. The main thing is to be on eye level!

Jonas Greiner was awarded “Newcomer of the Year” by Olaf Schubert in 2019, is touring throughout Germany, and is a regular guest on well-known shows like NightWash or in the Quatsch Comedy Club. He has also been seen in numerous TV formats, for example on “Olafs Klub” on MDR, at the “TV Total Bundesvision Comedy Contest” on ProSieben, or at “Mitternachtsspitzen” on WDR. Videos of his live performances and his regular satire formats on Instagram and YouTube have already been clicked millions of times. But: Live is still better. Therefore: Join us for the new solo program of Jonas Greiner – live, funny, and “Auf Augenhöhe”.

„JA, WIE?! Tacheles und Wurstsalat“
11/26/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

Yes, how ?!
Where do I obtain knowledge if I have none?
Why do I feel superfluous and lost in the hardware store? Who can help me out of there? Why is intelligent life too clever for me? Why is everything always connected?
And why is it always me?!

Sometimes you find yourself standing there saying: "Yes, how ?!" Because you don't know anything.
There's only one solution: straight talk. And sausage salad. And I will gladly serve both to you and you. In my new program. A program about me and everyone else. Because I suspect that my problems are also your problems. And if not, then you're lucky. Which is not bad either. But the program wants to be performed now. Because it's ready, just like me. Because I wrote it. The program. Not life. That would be too good. And now come watch - or you.
And then there's straight talk and sausage salad.

Kai Magnus Sting, the popular humor hero from Duisburg, is going on tour with his new solo program "YES, HOW ?! STRAIGHT TALK AND SAUSAGE SALAD". Kai Magnus is unlike anything Germany has to offer. Behind the appearance of a brother of Heinz Erhardt is a Ruhr Area Tarantino: fast, funny, spontaneous, quirky, absurd, and unbelievably funny. Those who have experienced Kai Magnus Sting with his distinctive charm and unique performance know that few people are funnier and more unique than him.

Kai Magnus Sting: a tie-wearing humor avant-garde. Absolutely worth seeing!

However, it was not possible, because the delicious source of creativity still bubbles. Not as unrestrained and impetuous as usual, but still enough for the bruised artist soul to bathe in satisfaction and joy.

What has humanity been doing for more than a year? The politicians, the amateur virologists, the cashiers, the football players? They all eier around as if it were a kind. And Nessi Tausendschön joins in. She has perfected the art of rum-eiing; no one eiers as beautifully and stage-ready as she does. Her topics include, among others, traffic islands, our language, equality, the planting of front gardens, and the tedious politics. It is obvious how vulnerable we are and how much we depend on each other and how much we are shaken by our own shortcomings. It is said that the most creative ideas often emerge from the greatest crises. And so, Mrs. Tausendschön has been sitting in the garden for two summers now, waiting for inspiration. A cactus bloom is so beautiful and enchanting precisely because there was a barren year beforehand.

And when you sit at the end of the evening and ask yourself: What was it actually about? This can perhaps be explained at this point, because Mrs. Tausendschön cannot. In the end, it always comes down to oil, every hairdresser, uh, fryer knows that. What is certain is that you will say to yourself: Mrs. Tausendschön has turned a dreary evening into a delightful one, during which I could have stayed home. And for those who still do not know what to expect: it will be fun. Perhaps also melancholic. Rumeiern indeed.

Absolute Frechheit
12/5/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

The new program by Simon Stäblein is an absolute cheek. Just like this text!
Because the longer you read this text, the more you realize that it actually doesn't provide you with any real information.
It’s just a text, that something is written here – Because something has to be written here! And even this trivial text wasn't even written by an AI, but by a bored Simon Stäblein. But maybe Simon isn't even a human, but an absolute cheek?!
And if you're already getting upset about this, you might as well not check out the program at all.
For everyone else – let’s f*cking go!

„Ach, du fröhliche... “ das Weihnachtsprogramm
12/12/2026 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

"„Oh, You Merry...” The Christmas Program

Christmas should be merry... and contemplative. But above all, beautiful. And precisely because we want it so much, we stress ourselves out - "Oh" - to the point of being unconscious, experiencing stress, shopping madness, and getting together for traditional family quarrels.
René Steinberg says: Enough! The motto of his new Christmas program is "make Christmas great again". And the way to get there is through laughter. Laughter about ourselves, our quirks, habits (how do you eat a domino stone?), about fellow human beings who definitely do not celebrate the festival of love in the supermarket parking lot, or about seemingly small lights that may illuminate their windows Las Vegas-style for that very reason?
Let's laugh about it - especially with other people together - because as usual, Steinberg interacts a lot with his audience; so that you can have a lovely evening together even before the festival.
Maybe a bit like the shepherds once did, because the angel didn't announce any Payback points to them, but above all: a great joy! So, back to the joyful roots of the Christmas festival; get your tickets, relax, and then: "Let us be happy and merry!"

Short Bio:
René Steinberg is very well known to many people purely by his voice. For 20 years, he has been doing satire, glosses, and comedy on the radio - legendary on WDR2 are "the von der Leyens", "Sarko de Funes", or the "Crime Scene with Till, Herbert, and Udo". On WDR5, he was the host and moderator of various live shows on the "Entertainment on the Weekend". Tens of thousands of visitors saw the trained Germanist at the WDR stage shows "Lachen Live", where he was on the road in NRW with changing companions for now 4 programs.
With his first solo program, the self-proclaimed power griller and BVB fan won several cabaret awards right off the bat from 2012 and was nominated, among other things, at the cabaret festival of the Wühlmice in Berlin. With his fourth solo program "Voluntary Forward! Whoever laughs, opens their mouth", he further develops his very own style: interactive, fast, profound, people-friendly, and with a humor that, upon closer inspection, sometimes reveals itself as biting mockery. The Christmas program "Oh, You Merry..." is the successor to the successful Christmas program "Crazy is Festive".
"Steinberg simply spreads good mood and pure entertainment"

Hitverdächtig – Der musikalische Jahresrückblick
1/9/2027 at 8:00 PM / Mülheim an der Ruhr

Can you seriously earn a doctorate in pop music? Yes! And what do you do with it? Comedy and cabaret. Dr. Pop is the doctor of all things musical. He practices on the radio, TV, online, and on stage. He treats with music samples and quirky, yet completely true music facts. Did you know that termites eat through wood twice as fast when they listen to heavy metal? Or that there is a Barry White effect in evolutionary theory? The deeper the male's voice, the greater the chances of mating. This applies to both humans and koalas.

In Dr. Pop's live show, music plays that can save a party, a relationship, or the motivation to exercise. Whether it’s pop, rock, classical, schlager, jazz, hip-hop, or rap, Dr. Pop launches familiar yet also unknown samples from music history. And by the end of the show, everyone in the audience knows how to enrich their own life a little more with music.

In “Hitverdächtig – Der musikalische Jahresrückblick,” Dr. Pop dissects the musical highs and lows of the year. Which music shaped the year? Why did a concert by Beyoncé increase inflation in Sweden? What new, helpful music studies were released? And why is it that, to this day, a Christmas song is the best-selling song in music history? Dr. Pop has the right hit for every question!

Hitverdächtig – The comedy and knowledge show for everyone who loves music or wants to start loving it.
