Dr. Pop - Hitverdächtig

Can you seriously earn a doctorate in pop music? Yes! And what do you do with it then? Comedy and cabaret. Dr. Pop is a doctor for music. He works in radio, television, on the internet, and on stage. In his live programme "Hitverdächtig", he treats audiences with music samples and curious, yet entirely factual stories from music history.

Did you know that termites chew through wood twice as fast when listening to heavy metal? Or that there's a Barry White effect in evolutionary biology? The deeper a male's voice, the better his chances of mating success. This applies to both humans and koalas.

In "Hitverdächtig", music plays that can rescue a party, a relationship, or the motivation for exercise or housecleaning. Whether pop, rock, classical, schlager, jazz, hip-hop, or rap - Dr. Pop fires off familiar and obscure music samples from history. And by the end of the show, everyone in the audience knows how to enrich their own lives with music.

The programme is constantly updated with new songs and scientific studies - every evening is different, yet the title and host remain.

Hitverdächtig - The Music Comedy Stand-up Show is for everyone who loves music or wants to start, and who wants to experience the winner of the GERMAN KLEINKUNST PRIZE 2026 in the Kleinkunst category on a small stage.
