Sebastian 23 - Zusammenhaltestelle

NEW SHOW

Anyone who greets someone with "Good day" these days is already seen as a naive idealist and hopeless dreamer. Many have forgotten that an actual conversation can be even better than insulting strangers online. So why not take the risk and talk to someone who thinks differently? We might learn something and get further together. Or we go home and go back to arguing on the internet.

Sebastian 23 says a lot more than "Good day". The comedian, poetry slammer, activist and bestselling author presents Zusammenhaltestelle - his tenth solo show. And since I am a promotional text, I'll be upfront: Sebastian 23 rightly won the Deutschen Kabarettpreis in early 2025, has performed on thousands of stages, and hundreds of thousands follow him for his daily satirical posts on social media. Zusammenhaltestelle is more than a cabaret show, though - it's a case for optimism, empathy and the courage to find new ways forward together.

That sounds like pathos in urgent need of an ironic puncture. Or is it just a rhetorical trick? Let's find out together!
