Helmut Schleich - Helmut Schleich Live 2027

A new programme? Not exactly.

Helmut Schleich does what he wants. No two evenings are alike. His role model is the government - and so he tells himself: why should I care what I said yesterday. After all, we live in a time when reality outpaces political satire day after day. In socialism they used to call it "overtaking without catching up". Back then, Russia was building the world's largest hydrogen bomb - the so-called Tsar Bomba. It was so enormous that no delivery system could actually carry it. Now that's a peace initiative. The Americans were caught off guard. They hadn't counted on unbearable pacifism from the "Evil Empire".

Good cabaret and politics do share one thing: both want to surprise people. Cabaret has to be like the Tsar Bomba once was - explosive and impossible to carry. You can't really say that. Doesn't matter. Helmut Schleich just does it anyway.
