In his new solo show, Jan-Peter Petersen takes a satirical look at the social climate.
Amid a barrage of opinions, a storm of outrage, official whirlwinds, and the last rays of the Enlightenment, he presents a ruthlessly sarcastic cabaret evening featuring ruthlessly sarcastic facts. A torrential downpour of cabaret for everyone who, despite the gloomy forecasts, doesn’t want to go without lasting laugh lines.
Jan-Peter Petersen combines biting, topical cabaret sketches with hilariously funny everyday anecdotes.
That’s when shortcomings become strengths.
And Petersen wouldn’t be himself if he were to limit himself to a purely playful revue of sketches. His program is a self-evolving and constantly surprising chain of thought that is both fun and thought-provoking to follow.
As an observant contemporary, he also sees it as his duty to comment on current events with quick wit and incisive insight.
His cabaret-style observations thus become a precise assessment of current sensibilities—and are absolutely hilarious in the process.
Don’t miss this show. After all, you don’t have anything else to laugh about.

“A fireworks display of flashes of genius. Nothing inspires even a shred of respect in him. It’s precisely this flippancy that makes it incredibly funny: the result is a delightful blend of apparent nonsense and intelligent depth.” ( Lüneburger Zeitung)
