Musical Reading with Stephan Zinner and His Guests - "Prachtexemplar"

As an actor, cabaret artist, and musician, Stephan Zinner knows that the toughest audience waits at home - his own family. Yet he willingly takes on the challenges of being a trendy soul-food cook, taxi dispatcher, chief Christmas-tree buyer, DIY enthusiast, and son-in-law. He may not always get applause for it, the injury risk is high, and the pay is low - but a smile is worth so much more. It helps him even tolerate the world out there, full of people with blinders on, rushing toward self-optimization. And he poses humanity's big questions: Is a sausage salad a bowl? What does the family calendar have to do with the space-time continuum? Are treadmills deadly hellish machines? And why does a slice of orange float in wheat beer?

With subtle humor, Stephan Zinner answers these and many other questions in his new book in a magnificently comic way. He is musically supported by Maxi Pongratz on accordion and Matthias Meichelböck on French horn. With their band "Koflgschroa," these two Oberammergau professional musicians are well known to audiences far beyond the Spotify universe.

Stephan Zinner, born in 1974, is an actor, author, musician, and cabaret artist. He performed on the stages of Landestheater Salzburg and Kammerspiele in Munich, and for fifteen unforgettable years in the Singspiel at Nockherberg as Markus Söder. Since 2016, he has been part of the cast of the nationwide successful Eberhofer crime series based on Rita Falk's novels. He also appears in the Munich "Polizeiruf 110" and in the lead role in the BR six-part series "Himmel Herrgott Sakrament." He regularly performs musical readings in Germany and Austria with colleagues such as Hannes Ringlstetter ("2 Typen, 2 Gitarren, 2 Bücher"), Stefan Leonhardsberger ("Kaffee & Bier"), and Maxi Pongratz ("Georg Kreisler Abend"). His current solo program is called "Der Teufel, das Mädchen, der Blues & Ich".
