Podewitz - Better Safe Than Dessert - Premiere

"Vorsicht ist besser als Nachtisch" is a relentlessly funny entertainment show, packed with genuine ear-gold and the purest silver of waffle.

Germany's reigning champion of beating around the bush and his unmusical brother are back with heads full of bees and serve up 90 minutes of short-form cabaret: language ballet, verbal mime, and jokes you have to see to believe.

We think things through. Ourselves. By hand. And it shows: getting older has its ups and downs - in old age you get something like gout and shadow. By the way: why isn't an animal shelter just called a "Zwinger-Club"? And: can you tailor a bag for blathering out of conversational fabric? Everyone's scared of "AI", but we ask: what's so dangerous about the licence plate of Kiel? And do you have to use up green energy quickly before it wilts?

Fair warning: PODEWITZ shows don't run like a Waldorf kindergarten. Applause is compulsory here. For unruly audience members, the inventors of authoritarian entertainment have a full toolkit of coercive measures - and penalty poems will rain down, featuring slapdash lyrics, rhyming culture, and poetry born of insurance claims.

In short: it will be an evening after which you genuinely look forward to going home. Don't mention it. We help where we can.

PODEWITZ - the two of them are already one to me.

P.S.: Tip for younger viewers: the show is also available in pink. With glitter.
