Daphne de Luxe - Kopf hoch, Brust raus!

In her latest show "Kopf hoch, Brust raus!" ("Chin Up, Chest Out!"), Daphne de Luxe turns her trademark wit and self-deprecating humour on the pitfalls of everyday life and social phenomena - with her own family once again providing the richest material.

With a wink and no shortage of self-awareness, she proves that humour and backbone can go hand in hand. Influencers, a fascination with the gross, role-playing and other oddities from her relatives' lives all come under her sharp-eyed scrutiny. After all, who better than family - the more or less beloved kind - to reveal the full spectrum of human quirks? And her own reflection in the mirror doesn't escape her critical gaze either.

The queen of self-irony wallows in memories of family gatherings, applies cheerfully amateur psychology to her relatives' strange hobbies and the baffling career ambitions of the younger generation, muses on our sometimes contradictory ways of living, and skewers the peculiarities of those around her with great flair. "Kopf hoch, Brust raus!" is also a call not to let every setback get you down, but to face life with a smile and find reasons to laugh. This show is a very good place to start.

The much-discussed mother-in-law, nephew John-Pierre, the unloved sister-in-law Heidrun and her daughter Leonie all supply plenty of material for amusing anecdotes from Daphne de Luxe's life. And everyday adversity doesn't spare house cat Schrödi either - who now has to take heart medication and has taken to using the robot vacuum cleaner as a taxi to the litter box.

In her sixth comedy show, Daphne de Luxe once again delivers her distinctive blend of stylish stage presence, sharp entertainment, self-deprecating wit and cabaret-style depth.
