Hans Gerzlich - I Thought I Was Younger

Hans Gerzlich is appalled: he was born in the same year as old people! Sports cars have given way to heat patches flickering across his screen. Fifty on the outside, twenty on the inside - he wonders: when does life actually begin?

The pension forecast does promise comfort - but only for eleven days. Gerzlich takes it all in stride and goes looking for a new philosophy of ageing, one where equanimity takes centre stage.

A cabaret show for everyone who is fifty, once was, or is heading that way. Expect an evening of self-deprecating wit and sharp punchlines. Fair warning: you'll leave two hours older - and considerably richer in laugh lines!
