Die Kächeles - genuinely Swabian, delightfully sharp, wonderfully absurd
For over 20 years they have shared a stage, reliably sending audiences into fits of laughter: Kächeles, the Swabian comedy duo with cult status. What Käthe and Karl-Eugen deliver is everyday life, relationships and sheer madness - served with wit, pace and a huge dose of the familiar.
Him - laid-back, immune to advice, and with a startling depth of expertise on sofa cushions. Her - fiery, opinionated, and permanently in verbal attack mode. Two characters as different as day and night - incompatible and inseparable.
Their dialogues come straight from real life. Family chaos, tech panic, irritating fashion trends - they put everything on stage that drives us mad on a daily basis, but somehow make it absolutely hilarious. What would be embarrassing for anyone else becomes a punchline for the Kächeles. You know the feeling - just not this funny.
The Kächeles don't play characters - they live them. The jury of the State Prize for Dialect recognised exactly that: "The figures of Käthe and Karl-Eugen are far more than roles for the Kächeles - they embody real life."
An evening with the Kächeles is like dropping in on old friends: you feel at home straight away, laugh until you cry - and leave quietly relieved that your own marriage isn't quite that bad.
"The love of the Kächeles just sparks from every punchline."
HOHENLOHER ZEITUNG
"With their solo interludes, the two are so in tune with the zeitgeist that they entertain well beyond their marital warfare."
HEILBRONNER STIMME
"They landed blows in every direction, playfully working their role clichés: club life, female and male friendships, regulars' table gatherings, neighbourhood rivalries, gravitational waves and the theory of relativity - nothing was off limits."
MITTELBADISCHE PRESSE
"Aren't we all a little bit Kächeles?"
