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

After 20 years of marriage, everyone asks themselves: "Is this really 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' and not 'knowing the answer'.

Would total honesty be a recipe for marital bliss? But who, after 20 years, can honestly ask their partner: "Are you as bored as I am?" A wise man prefers to say nothing to his wife at all.

So what do you do when couples therapists have no appointments available? Buy a ticket to see Stephan Bauer! Couples therapy helps, yoga helps - but shouting "Oh, for crying out loud!" in good spirits at a comedy show is cheaper. After 30 years in the marriage trenches, 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 the bridges we've burned. Two hours of marital fun for everyone's benefit - one microphone, one bar stool, punchlines one after another, laughter without pause. And the best part: the ticket counts as a therapy session.

In case of bad weather, the event will take place in the theatre hall of the Bad Orber Konzerthalle.
