Daphne de Luxe: Artgerecht

Daphne de Luxe presents cabaret, comedy and songs in her programmes. Situational humour, improvisational talent and engagement with current social issues make each of her performances unique. It is her authenticity that moves and inspires audiences. And when she takes the stage in one of her sensual dresses, a wave of admiration ripples through the hall.

In her private life, Daphne de Luxe is quite different. Unlike her extremely confident, bold and witty stage persona, the private Daphne is rather conservative. No glamour, no luxury make-up - instead she spends her time on gardening, keeping chickens and growing heirloom vegetables when she's not on stage. This energetic blonde has wide-ranging interests, and her loyal fans know she could have been just as successful as a zoologist. Her professional knowledge is astounding. It was only a matter of time before these themes made their way into one of her stage programmes.

"Artgerecht - An Animal-Human Programme" is the title of this show, and it delivers on its promise. Daphne de Luxe draws humorous parallels between humans and animals, explains why men are so fond of looking at women's décolletage, and shares surprising insights with her audience.

"Artgerecht" also encompasses amusing observations about how people live together and how this changes. The comedian casts a critical eye on our consumer and eating habits, but never forgets the pleasure of indulgence without guilt. Beautiful songs and anecdotes, plenty of humour and self-irony provide relentlessly good entertainment. The entertainer, often called the likeable "Wuchtbrumme", deliberately speaks with double meaning about her view of things and gives her audience the feeling of listening to amusing stories from a best friend. An evening could hardly be more entertaining.
