Frank Fischer - "Gagaland"

Frank Fischer has been performing on stage for over 20 years and has won 20 cabaret awards in that time - including the Tuttlingen Crow in 2016. His perspective on everyday life and his fellow humans is unmistakably his own.

In his new programme "Gagaland", he takes the audience on a journey through a peculiar land whose eccentric inhabitants he brings to life with keen observation and subtle humour: gloomy Franconians, cheeky Ruhr Valley women, and a Saxon radio advertisement that dangerously pushes him towards madness. Along the way, he tackles the pressing questions of our time - whether artificial intelligence deserves a chance if natural intelligence isn't working out, why we involuntarily make strange noises as we age, and why punctual long-distance trains should make us suspicious. He effortlessly bridges the gap between grand world politics and the absurdities of everyday life.

Because whether they are presidents, celebrities or the woman behind the sausage counter - they are all part of Gagaland.
