Stephan Bauer "Am Ende der Nerven... und noch so viel Ehe übrig"

After 20 years of marriage, everyone starts asking: "Is this it? How much longer can this go on? What happened to my dreams, when my partner has nothing left to say to me - except 'take your pills'?" The secret to a happy marriage is, apparently, a secret. Which is why they call it 'tying the knot', not 'knowing the knot'.

Would total honesty be a recipe for marital bliss? But who, after 20 years, actually dares to ask their partner: "Are you as bored of me as I am of you?" A wise man says nothing to his wife. Nothing at all.

So what do you do when couples therapists have no appointments? Buy a ticket to see Stephan Bauer! Couples therapy helps, yoga helps - but shouting "damn it" in a good mood at a comedy show is cheaper. After 30 years in the furnace of marriage, he knows: everyone wants to pin their partner to the wall at some point. The key is taking them back down afterwards. So let's just look at the misery with a sense of humour. "Sure, my partner has a screw loose - but look how nicely it spins."

Stephan Bauer's new show peers into the relationship chasms of modern life, while also showing how to rebuild bridges that have fallen apart. Two hours of marital fun to make everyone feel a little better. One microphone, one bar stool, punchlines rapid-fire, laughter without a breath. And the best part: the ticket already includes the therapy session.
