Let’s not beat around the bush. The world is a vale of tears. Something is constantly happening that makes us tired, helpless, and angry—or all four at once.
As I write this, we don’t even know yet what the fourth effect is. But by the time you read this, something else will surely have happened again. You know it yourself. Seen that way, it’s almost amazing how many funny things still happen undeterred. Things you might not always notice, though, unless someone tells you about them. That’s what this program is about.
It’s about stories that are told and read aloud. By me. Just like always, really. Except that these are new stories. They take place in the here and now. And they’re still very funny. Or maybe that’s exactly why. Plus, there are tips on how to make the best of things despite everything.
“As if by chance, he discovers the fantastic in everyday life. With his grotesque worldview, he succeeds time and again in outwitting reality.”
From the laudatory speech for the German Cabaret Award
