Maxi Gstettenbauer - "Stabil"

Maxi Gstettenbauer Remains STABIL

The man with the rolling R and distinctive tooth configuration is indispensable to German comedy. For 15 years now, this Bavarian-born comedian has dodged regular employment while entertaining thousands of audiences.

Maximilian Ronald Alfons Gstettenbauer (that's his full name) is a likeable family man who despairs both at the world and at his own expectations. He does this, unfortunately, often loudly - bad for his blood pressure, but excellent for our diaphragms! This proto-millennial is one of the few practitioners of his craft who masters both everyday slapstick comedy and subtle social critique.

The future shakes the fences of our present. No one wants to move, so everything stays as it never was. Yet the world's most stable buildings are designed to sway during an earthquake. Because nothing breaks faster than a beam that cannot bend.

This balancing act between reliable punchline delivery and overwhelmed world-weariness is the artistic essence of Maxi Gstettenbauer.

When all certainties have been swept from the table, the dark-humoured family man seeks answers to the big questions: Can you defend the EU's external borders in Call of Duty too? Can't you just strike against climate change? And how can a nuclear bomb be harmful when it's vegan?

To remain STABIL, you have to move. Best of all - to a theatre near you!
