MATZE KNOP - Spitzenreiter

"Spitzenreiter" is Matze Knop's brand-new stage programme. Together with his new equine companion, he boldly rides through the madness of our everyday lives. He confronts all the pitfalls and challenges of these crazy times in his characteristic humorous and ironic style.

From artificial intelligence through self-checkout tills to the plight of an SUV driver - which Matze himself is - to Dinkel-Dörte on her cargo bike and politicians who get tangled up in their own statements like headphones in a backpack.

And what would Matze be without football? Whether it's the Champions League or local league, whether it's VAR drama or a dream goal - Matze delivers every punchline as surely as Messi converts a penalty in the final. With a sharp eye and plenty of humour, he takes aim at the great and small absurdities of the world's most beautiful sport, and he's got the 2026 World Cup firmly in his sights. Of course, his unmistakable parodies like Kloppo, Jogi, Ronaldo, Lodda and Diedää are all there. He's got them all with him.
