Podewitz - Caution Is Better Than Dessert

"Caution Is Better Than Dessert" is a consistently hilarious programme packed with genuine ear candy and pure verbal rambling. The German master of talking around the point and his unmusical brother are brimming with crazy ideas again, serving up 90 minutes of short and small-scale performance art featuring word ballet, verbal pantomime, and jokes you can watch.

We think for ourselves. By hand. And here's how it looks: Getting old has its ups and downs - in old age we get gout and shadows. By the way: why not simply call an animal shelter a "Kennel Club"? And another thing: can you sew talk bags from conversation fabric? Everyone's afraid of "artificial intelligence", but we ask: what's so dangerous about Kiel's license plate? And do you have to use up eco-friendly electricity quickly or it will wilt?

Warning: Podewitz shows don't run like a Waldorf kindergarten. Here, applause is mandatory. For rebellious audiences, the inventors of authoritarian entertainment have packed plenty of coercive measures, and it rains down with penalty poems featuring rambling lyrics in rhymed culture and poetry from insurance claims.

In short: it's an evening at the end of which you'll genuinely be happy to get home. You're welcome. We help where we can.

PODEWITZ - these two are one to me.

P.S.: Tip for young viewers: the programme also comes in pink. With glitter.
