After the award-winning "Herzensschlampereien" (Austrian Cabaret Prize 2023), now the highly anticipated second solo cabaret by Christian Dolezal!

The "Dole" only tells stories that have actually happened exactly like that. If someone doesn't believe him, he shows proof photos on his phone and swears to it.
He should be ashamed of much of it. He is, because his old Aunt Pepi convinces him of that. But she herself has a strange way of life. Still, she was always there with comfort and advice, except when "Dallas" was on TV.

The love-inept Dole had zero success with women even as a teenager. Almost zero. Actually zero. Until he realized he has a quite extraordinary talent. Suddenly, he was also a bit attractive. For a short time. And then there’s a wondrous friend. Whether he is a primate or a genius, you’ll have to decide for yourself.

The psychologist Ela receives a mysterious call. A completely desperate man insists on coming for therapy that very evening. He seems to be very prominent, as he only reveals the first letter of his name. Behind this ‘G’ hides none other than God himself, who is in a deep crisis and wants to put an end to himself and thus to his work. Ela has only one hour to overcome her inner conflict with God, change his plans, and thereby save the world.

A wonderful comedy. Clever, touching, full of surprises, and a must-see at the foot of the monastery!

Romeo has to go home, from Vienna to Upper Austria. Grandma is dying. Again. The journey to his hometown is also a time travel back to his own childhood and youth. He meets his old teenage love again, whom he unfortunately wasn't allowed to kiss back in school. Her family had forbidden it. Partly because Romeo had the wrong skin color. Mainly, though, because he had too few hectares (note: none).

Romeo visits a tent festival in his hometown, where the same band that played 15 years ago is still performing, and where the same Nazis who wanted to beat him up 15 years ago still want to do the same. It's marvelous when some things in life remain the same.

Surrounded by the smell of grilled chicken and slightly intoxicated from an entire box of Jägermeister, Romeo becomes nostalgic. Should he not return to Vienna at all, where people are more liberal - but unfortunately also more bland? Isn’t this village his true homeland? What does homeland even mean? Can one be proud of their country if they don’t know their own father?
In his second cabaret program “HEIMWEH,” Romeo Kaltenbrunner talks about growing up in the countryside, and what it is like to look different than what one’s family name and dialect might suggest.

Children, how time flies. In the year 2000, when the world did not go under due to a 'bug' as feared, Birgit Denk and her men played their first concert in the legendary 'Shelter' in Vienna. Rocking, sung in the eastern Austrian dialect by a woman, the formation came with lyrics that dealt with themes that had not been addressed before. The band evolved and became a staple of the Austrian music scene over the years. The fact that Birgit Denk and her colleagues have been together for 25 years deserves to be celebrated. This 'silver wedding' brings the band to present excerpts from all their albums once again to their old and new audience. Celebration mood guaranteed!

ELEKTROGSTANZLDISKO

Clever ahead at the Heubod’n Gate! Austria’s favorite glitter suit wearers want to prove with this tour that you can party just as well outside of Berlin. With new Gstanzln and old motivation packed, the five-member disco duo Erwin & Edwin dares to go everywhere their humor is somewhat understood. Even though the unmistakable mix of techno and polka knows no language barrier and gets even the most international legs moving and in ecstasy!

Currently like at the premiere! The cabaret legend Andreas Vitásek embarks on the ultimate horror show of Austrian horrors - a must-attend event for citizens!!!

When stupidity becomes a right, DER HERR KARL becomes a duty!

Whether the resurrection of the block warden in the camouflage suit of hipster-bobo-helicopter parents, vaccination opponents, Kleinwalsertal fanboys (and girls), state deniers or Ibiza minimizers - the list of Austrian horrors is long and getting longer.

Who could be more fitting to poke at the wounds with his Vienna sausage fingers than DER HERR KARL, and who but Andreas Vitásek should bring the eternal informers out of quarantine onto the suburban stage?

Even though the Schilling had to give way to the Euro and Facebook has long since replaced the Bassenatratsch, there is still no shortage of turncoats and informers today - whether in online forums or at press conferences - Vienna remains Vienna!

"That's not who we are. Or is it? DER HERR KARL is a proven navigation aid in the search for the Austrian soul. Times may change, but some things remain. Or, as Bertolt Brecht said: 'The womb is still fertile from which that crawled.' " (Andreas Vitásek)

20 Years of Kernölamazonen - Love & Pumpkin Seed Oil
20 years! The Kernölamazonen have been around for that long. Since they feel like they have just turned that age themselves, the two decide to pack their red suitcase and repeat their musical love journey from back then. They quickly realize that twenty years have not passed without a trace, and that much has changed around them – not just in the world of love.

She's not doing it again:
Writing jokes.
Rehearsing songs.
Learning lines.


Magda Leeb simply doesn't do it.

"That's just not possible!" you might think.
"But why doesn't she just write something?!"
"But then that's not real cabaret, is it?"


Don't get all ruffled. Everything is fine.

She will do something that no one else does: Talk to you, ask you questions, see how you're doing.
Whether you want to talk about relationships, the weather, the current political situation, houseplants, or your tax return, she will build a unique show in front of your eyes that will never be performed again.
The ultimate moment that won't come back. Those who weren't there missed it!
She leaves learning the lines to others - Magda Leeb simply does what she does best: improvisation.

Diverse and featuring great music, the Lungau Big Band is heading into its forty-third year! Interesting programs, renowned soloists from around the world, and composers who are invited to write new music – this is how the Lungau Big Band has developed into one of the most active and remarkable jazz ensembles in the country, delighting not only the audience with alternating thematic focuses but also keeping themselves engaged with a wide range of musical challenges in an infectious playing mood! For the current program, Simone Kopmajer and the Lungau Big Band present both their own compositions and classics from the Great American Songbook in new arrangements.

With a fine voice, open gaze, and touching honesty, the music of Erika Foramitti expresses what often remains unspoken. Between yesterday and tomorrow, between what was and what is, her songs emerge. They depict ›A Picture of My Life‹, tell of the ›Child in Me‹, and ask the question ›Am I still me?‹. The artist writes in the tradition of great songwriters, yet her music carries its own distinctive fingerprint.

Together with Georg Buxhofer and band, Erika Foramitti presents her new album, which focuses on songs between light and shadow.

"Stermann sings" should be the name of his new program, because Stermann sang a few songs in his first award-winning solo program, and since then he sees himself in the tradition of Lady Gaga and Roland Kaiser. However, his agency had "Stermann sinks" printed on the posters, because they believe his singing talent is more reminiscent of the Titanic.

Angrily, the artist travels by train to his first performance. His chosen home Austria passes by his window and his potential audience sits with him in the dining car of the IC Österreich.

And when the ÖBB itself begins to speak, either you have had too many spritzers or you are sitting in Stermann's new program.

Urfröhlich – because being grumpy doesn’t make you happier either.

Reinhard Nowak has decided to be only urfröhlich from now on. Why? Because he has realized that he has arrived at the last third of his life, whether he likes it or not – and he does not want to spend the remaining time just being grumpy on the stage of life. Because it doesn’t help at all to be in a bad mood about everything and everyone – and because every failure tastes better when you walk through life with a smile.

Maybe his long-standing marriage will run a bit smoother if he is urfröhlich while doing so. Perhaps one can endure the current sh**** world situation better when watching the news with a smile. Maybe he will even like the red numbers in his bank account more when he reads his bank statement with a grin. Perhaps he feels better when he looks at some of his body parts that are just hanging around. Maybe he finds fat-free food simply more delicious when he chews it with joy. And maybe a colonoscopy is more fun when he is urfröhlich.

Why being urfröhlich might be the right way into the last third of life.

A cabaret program about the surprising realization that cheerfulness is sometimes the smarter choice.

“URFRÖHLICH” is a program for everyone who would rather laugh about Reinhard Nowak’s problems than their own – because he suffers everything on our behalf – every nuisance – all urfröhlich.

Experience it live – and guaranteed to be urfröhlich.

The raw power of the rural with the sound aesthetics of modern urban pop productions – powerful, playful, and uncompromisingly independent. This is what Anna Buchegger defined with her debut "Windschatten" in 2024, and now she continues it with her new work "Soiz" (release date: 03.10.2025).

With this, Anna Buchegger remains one of the most exciting voices in German-speaking pop: She thinks of music not only as sound, but as an attitude – between stage, customs, and liberation. “Soiz” proves that pop music from rural areas can be both political and international today.
After the much-acclaimed debut album “Windschatten”, which was awarded two Amadeus Award nominations, the Hubert von Goisern Cultural Award 2024, and an ARTE TRACKS portrait, the Austrian musician Anna Buchegger announces her second album: “Soiz” will be released on October 3, 2025 – exactly one year after her debut work.

“Soiz” consistently continues the artistic and political line of “Windschatten” – with even more clarity, resistance, and stylistic courage. The musical language is sharper, the tone rawer, the perspective uncompromising. Buchegger continues to rely on dialect as an artistic statement and confronts alpine traditions musically and visually with self-irony and avant-garde audacity. The artistic figure between clown, couture, and traditional costumes becomes a reflection of a generation that does not conserve its roots, but questions them critically.

"Now it's all about the person who is closest to me: Me! Me! Me!"
This is how it is demonstrated to us, in politics, on social media, and in the kindergarten WhatsApp group. We live in a society full of winners, where everyone wants to be first, yes, must be first. Those who come in second have already lost, have fallen behind, have been left by the wayside.
These forces also influence Thomas Mraz, and therefore it applies to him now:
MRAZ FIRST!
However, he has rarely - very rarely - actually never - been first at anything. It's high time for Mraz, in his first solo program, to confront his big questions: Is he aiming for the chairmanship in the community garden association? Is he opening his sausage stand, just as he remembers it from the past? Is he already old enough to apply for the corridor pension? Is he a well-traveled cosmopolitan or a prole from Favoriten? Or maybe both? And most importantly: Is he really such an egoist, like everyone else?

Wiener Blond returns to the Stadtsaal after their sold-out duo premiere last year and presents not only well-known classics but also brand new songs.

Since 2012, Verena Doublier and Sebastian Radon have been seen together on the club, cabaret, and concert stages of this country. Initially equipped only with a loop station, a guitar, a cajon, and a handful of songs about various everyday adventures, they quickly created their own cosmos for their spectacular stage shows, earning an international fanbase. The common thread through every musical phase of the band, from hip hop loops to delicate string sounds and crisp band sound, is always the surprising lyrics, the Viennese dialect, and the seamlessly shaped two-part harmony that gives each of their songs a Wiener Blond timbre.

In Stadtsaal 2025, Wiener Blond pays tribute to their early days as a duo and presents not only classics but also completely new and unpublished songs. This time, the duo also brings along the anniversary reissue of their debut album "Der Letzte Kaiser" as vinyl.

A musical reunion of three central figures of the Austrian blues scene will be celebrated on this evening.



Christian Dozzler (vocals, piano, harmonica), who has been internationally active in the name of blues for more than 45 years and has been based in Dallas, Texas since 2000, brings along two long-time former companions, Hannes Kasehs (vocals, guitar) and Michael Strasser (drums), for a varied blues evening in the old homeland.

As in previous years, the fantastic band around Werner Raubek and Georg Buxhofer invites wonderful singers to create an enjoyable, humorous, and entertaining afternoon and evening together.
