True Crime with Joe Bausch

Germany's best-known prison doctor and Tatort star Joe Bausch takes to the stage with gripping insights and previously untold stories from more than three decades behind the walls of a maximum-security prison. Those who have seen him before know: his reading talk is entertaining, compelling and refreshingly honest. This time, though, Joe Bausch goes a step further.\n\nIn his trademark style, he leads the audience into the darkest recesses of the human mind: contract killers, sadistic couples, ruthless murderers - psychopaths, narcissists, hardened criminals - and few people have met as many of them face to face as he has. But in this live evening, Joe Bausch also unlocks chapters that have stayed closed until now: times when he himself was a victim of violence and humiliation, which he first revealed in his latest Spiegel bestseller "Verrücktes Blut".\n\nActor Joe Bausch became a household name to German TV audiences as forensic doctor Dr. Joseph Roth in the Sunday-evening crime series Tatort. For over 30 years he worked as a physician inside the maximum-security prison Werl. His books "Knast", "Gangsterblues" and "Maxima Culpa" lay bare a world that most of us can barely imagine.\n\nOn stage, Joe Bausch peers behind the prison walls, recounts moments between life and death, and speaks of encounters with evil and the daily reality of life behind bars.\n\nJoin Joe Bausch and true-crime host Dr. Tino Grosche for an evening that looks not only at perpetrators but also at Bausch's own story. For those who have seen him before: there is still plenty more to hear. For first-timers: expect a night that blends suspense, hard-won knowledge and genuine chills. Live. Real. Unfiltered.
