Happy - Ralf Winkelbeiner

Ralf Winkelbeiner walks the line between cabaret and comedy - punchline after punchline after punchline is his trademark.

Cabaret and comedy heavyweights like Michael Mittermeier, Martina Schwarzmann and Martin Frank spotted his talent early and brought him on as their support act.

With his hilariously skewed takes on everyday life, delivered in the finest Bavarian dialect, he has audiences roaring with laughter from start to finish. That he also connects with people who don't speak a word of Bavarian is proven by the string of cabaret awards he has recently collected.

These include the "Weißenhorner Wölfchen", the "Mönchshof Kabarettpreis Kulmbach", the "Kufsteiner Kabarettpreis" and the "Hallertauer Kleinkunstpreis".

Winkelbeiner is also a member of the nationally renowned Quatsch Comedy Club.
