Christoph Maria Herbst & Moritz Netenjakob - Das ernsthafte Bemühen um Albernheit

Two comedy craftsmen read their favourite satires and chat on stage.

One is among Germany's most beloved film and TV actors. The other is a bestselling author and cabaret artist. They share a great deal: a love of sharp satire, quick-fire character switches, and Loriot.

Over the course of this exclusive evening, they don't just talk about their passion for intelligent humour - they treat the audience to a generous helping of satirical writing: sketches by a certain Vicco von Bülow, an apology letter Herbst once wrote to his religious-education teacher as a schoolboy, sardonic texts from Netenjakob's pen, and live readings from Herbst's favourite audiobooks. Add to that scenes from Netenjakob's hit novel "Macho Man" and the cult series "Stromberg".

When Germany's most successful audiobook narrator (Herbst) steps up to the microphone alongside a "gifted parodist" (Kölner Rundschau on Netenjakob), the result is a range of voices and comic registers that is, in this combination, genuinely one of a kind.
