Lutz van der Horst - Konfetti-Blues

Lutz van der Horst takes his debut novel "Konfetti-Blues" on the road - a reading and conversation with Thilo Gosejohann on 11 November 2026 at Stadthalle Parchim!

For cynics, romantics, comedians and everyone in between: this is perhaps the funniest novel about failure you'll read. Max, late twenties, comedy writer, sees himself on the brink of a stellar career. He hosts his own show - at least three times. Then he reads in the TV listings that it's been cancelled again. The good-looking guy from the club, supposedly the great love of his life, wants nothing more to do with him either. And doesn't Max actually want his ex back anyway? His road to the big stage and to true love is paved with blunders, excruciating silence after a joke lands flat, heartbreak and disappointment - and the question of whether Max will ever get his happy ending, or whether his life will forever remain the least funny show in the world.

Expect an evening of sharp wit and genuine depth. Comedian and "heute-show" field reporter Lutz van der Horst sits down with one of his closest friends from the comedy and TV world - Thilo Gosejohann - to dig into life's bigger questions, and to answer one in particular: how much of the real Lutz van der Horst is actually in this book?

After the event there will be a chance to chat with the author, ask questions, and pick up a hand-signed copy.
