Christoph Sonntag - "AZ/NZ 2.0"

Christoph Sonntag is a household name in "The Länd" - a "Bunt Dog" through and through. On ARD, he works as a collaborator on "Meister des Alltags"; on "Verstehen Sie Spaß?" he's the actor who never tires of playing clever tricks on his fellow citizens. And of course there's his cult TV show "Das jüngste Gerü(i)cht", where as "Bruder Christophorus" he delivers biting sermons that skewer the politicians in the room.

But his true calling is the live show. That's where he truly shines, engaging the audience and unleashing his wild, technically elaborate cabaret performances.

"AZ-NZ, Alte Zeiten, Neue Zeiten" was the name of Christoph Sonntag's hugely successful comedy radio show on SWR3 - it broke all the records. Millions tuned in on the radio, and the TV recording from the Porsche Arena has aired on ARD more than two dozen times.

Now the "King of Swabian Cabaret" (as SWR calls him) returns with this very same cult programme. The thing is, those "New Times" from back then are now the new old times of today. And today is already yesterday's tomorrow.

Christoph Sonntag's new programme "AZNZ 2.0" is topical and spectacular - a lavishly staged show that will have you laughing until the tears flow. A stunning set design, lively musical numbers, sharp verbal acrobatics, and the ever-present wit and mischief all make it clear why SWR was right to call him the "King of Swabian Cabaret".
