Ringlstetter & Zinner

Elvis Presley signed his first record deal at a kitchen table, Apple was founded in a kitchen, and every decent party ends up there sooner or later. On top of that, Hannes Ringlstetter and Stephan Zinner genuinely love eating, drinking and cooking. So their fourth joint stage programme almost inevitably revolves around encounters at the stove, culinary disasters and the big conversations that so often happen in the kitchen. By turns sharp and reflective, but always with a wink, they take audiences on a tour through the world of everyday cooking - where people improvise, laugh and philosophise.

They play new songs, read from their latest books - "Prachtexemplar" (Zinner) and "Ein Steinpilz für die Ewigkeit" (Ringlstetter) - as well as other texts. Above all, the show leaves plenty of room for the spontaneous and the unexpected. A programme that leaves you wanting more and proves that life is often decided somewhere between the fridge and the hob.

For their performances and easy-going style, Hannes and Stephan were awarded the Bavarian Cabaret Prize in the music category in 2019.
