Max Goldt

Word aesthete, full-time polemicist and cabaret artist - Max Goldt brings all these talents together in his provocative, side-splittingly funny readings. The otherwise peaceable Max Goldt has a particular fondness for the aberrations of the German language, and over the course of the evening he delivers sweeping blows against linguistic barbarians - collateral damage included.

Beyond his deconstructive antics on stage, his writings reveal themselves as a genuine feast for connoisseurs: Goldt's literature is precision work, concealing beneath seemingly free-flowing streams of thought an intricate web of allusions and motifs.

Max Goldt is an attentive flaneur who wanders through the absurdities of everyday life with a sharp eye. In his quirky observations, no taboo subject is off limits. With wit and biting satire he cuts straight to the point, presenting the facts to his audience in gloriously absurd fashion.
