Cabaret in Berlin

Do you know the difference between comedy and cabaret? The comedian Johann König once said: Comedy is done because of money, cabaret because of money....
political cabaret has a long tradition. The scenes can be presented as monologues, dialogues, with music and singing or even pantomimes on stage. The goal of the cabaret program is to pick up and satirize current or contemporary political topics. The teaching, the mistakes of the persons portrayed or their failure and stupidity are gladly portrayed exaggeratedly! 
One of the first German cabaret artists was Otto Reutter, whose sharp program fell victim to the censorship of the empire. In the following decades this fate was to befall many more committed artists. It was Otto Reutter's luck that after the First World War and the decline of the empire this censorship not only ended, but the political cabaret flourished in the Weimar Republic and the Golden Twenties. Claire Waldoff, Wernen Finck, Karl Valentin and Rudolf Platte are among the best known representatives of this epoch. Famous and successful car sirens were Erich Kästner, Kurt Tucholski and Klaus Mann.
The years after the Second World War are still marked by the great cabaret institutions such as the Müncher Lach- und Schießgesellschaft, Stachelschweine, Pfeffermühle Leipzig, Thistle or the Wühlmäusen.
Political cabaret also has a firm place on television. Who doesn't know the windshield wiper, Pelzig or Richling or Die Anstalt? But to be in the first row and to be there live is something different and very special! So: secure your cards!
