William Wahl - wahlweise

His songs sell out venues across Germany and rack up millions of streams online. With wahlweise, William Wahl presents his third programme - once again blending the comic with the poetic, intellectual depth with breezy lightness. His bittersweet piano songs navigate the full range of human contradictions with sure-footed style: for all his sharp-eyed observation of human weakness, he never loses his affectionate view of life. In the song "Rein versehentlich einvernehmlich" he suggests, among other things, that we might just figure out this love thing after all. Despite everything. Or, as he puts it: the flip side of the coin is gold too.

That his programmes win over not just audiences but also professional juries is clear from the many prestigious awards his work has received. William Wahl is long past being a hidden gem - he is a leading voice in the German-language cabaret scene, recognised for his precise language, musical accuracy and eye for what matters. His performances combine verbal clarity, outstanding musicianship and an attitude that holds humour and substance together without effort. William Wahl hits the right note - in every sense - and delivers evenings that entertain, surprise and linger.
