Oliver Wnuk Thinks Out Loud and Reads - Kreuzgangspiele extra

With Oliver Wnuk

Actor Oliver Wnuk performs, reads, plays and tells stories from his book "Besser wird's nicht" (published January 2026, illustrated by @kriegundfreitag) and other texts.

"Besser wird's nicht" is not a sigh of resignation but an invitation: this moment is as good as it gets - if we don't make use of it, nothing better is coming. Oliver Wnuk - actor, father, hypochondriac and incurable pragmatist - dissects life's minor and major irritations. The result is a tone that is both light and wise: funny, tender, free of sentimentality. Wnuk looks at things without bitterness and encourages a gentler view of oneself. A book - and an evening - for smiling, for reflection, for being together and for passing on.

"Unflinchingly honest and open, Oliver Wnuk looks at himself and at life, asking all the questions we all have. He just isn't afraid of the answers at all. That's beautiful, and also light, thoughtful and very rare." (Katrin Bauerfeind)

"Oliver Wnuk writes the way he acts: dreamy and precise, at a loss and powerful. He loses often - and wins because of it! And always hilarious, because it's so sad - I love it." (Annette Frier)
