Magdeburg, Germany
A family-run political cabaret in Magdeburg, led by the Hengstmann brothers. The ensemble has been staging sharp satirical programmes since the 1990s, tackling current affairs and German society with wit and a distinctly East German perspective. The intimate venue seats a small audience, which gives the performances a direct, almost conspiratorial feel.
The Hengstmänner cabaret kicks off the 2026/27 season with a special evening featuring guest performers and a shared celebration with the audience.
The Hengstmann brothers present their 21st cabaret programme, a satirical take on politics and contemporary life delivered with their signature family humour.

Tobias Hengstmann expands his annual keynote speech for young humanists in Magdeburg into a full solo show - a wide-ranging commentary on politics, society and everyday life, with occasional music.
