Without mercy, without pity, but with incredible fun. The most eccentric autobiographies in a furious stage show. The toughest literature battle since the Dionysia.

The world is full of biographies of more or less well-known public figures, in which you can read everything you don't really want to know. But maybe this is just pure cynicism and in reality, the literary potential of some life stories has simply not been recognized correctly. From Britney Spears' autobiography to Leo Hillinger's 250-page description of his journey to becoming the wine pope, from Marika Lichter's Dancing Stars chronicles to Prince Harry's revelations, the "literary" spectrum spans.

Dirk Stermann, Christoph Grissemann, and Michael Ostrowski finally give the oeuvre of the rich and famous the position in the literary world that truly belongs to them.

In between, there is fantastic live music by Rabenhof-Soul-God Romantic Slivo.
So there are no excuses.

With: Christoph Grissemann, Michael Ostrowski and Dirk Stermann
Live Music: Romantic Slivo feat. Valentin Eybl
Book: Günther Kralicek and Matthias Jodl

Polly Adler Valentinspecial

While the rest of the planet, surrounded by greenhouse roses and sparkling semi-sweet drinks, swears eternal love in baby talk, we offer you a reality check: Join us on a love-hike through the hell of online dating, Tinder burnout, emotional detachment, and the fact that once you finally stop searching for the "right one," you can have a lot of fun with the wrong ones.

Sona MacDonald will indulge her bombastic voice in heartbreak songs, Petra Morzé will shine with footwork and the best wine-induced fits of laughter since Paula Wessely, and Angelika Hager will try to give old jokes a new shine.

So you have a date!

Dirk Stermann - Zusammenbraut

Stermann's daughter is getting married and the comedian throws a party for her. But something is not right and the festive celebration turns into a reckoning with the fatherly qualities of the television star. A hot piano and a mysterious babysitter, a hallelujah and the truth about the good ORF person from Sezuan.

Dirk Stermann's first solo program is as entertaining as it is profound, and in the end, he dances all alone.

Haderer Live - Cartoonshow von Gerhard Haderer

Two individuals who express their attitude, their spirit of resistance, their love for people, and their occasional wonder about them in their art:
One draws and paints, the other sings and plays on his accordion.
Haderer's caricatures are razor-sharp, detailed, pointed, and irresistible.
Caricatures, known from newspapers and numerous publications, are now projected large onto the wall and presented by the master himself, with one story or another to accompany them.
In between, Hans Peter Falkner sings and plays, a maestro on the accordion and part of the music duo Attwenger for decades. In his Gstanzln and songs, he combines unique linguistic art with playful accordion sound.

So Haderer and Falkner rock through this evening together:
A colorful cartoon show with music, brains, and humor.

Stermann & Grissemann - Gags, Gags, Gags

After nine years on tour, it will finally be over at the end of 2025. "Gags, Gags, Gags," the seventh live program of the two beloved humorists, is bidding farewell to the stage and finding its final resting place in the cabaret archives of the country.

But even in this last year, the Stermann & Grissemann universe allows for an unexpected expansion of fine insults, sense sabotage, and self-dismantling, nonsense, bizarre parody, parody, and polemics: as usual, the two, who are "actually too good for television" (John Cleese), continue to dart through the self-imposed gag slalom with top-notch performances.

Neither of them, including the German (Stermann), ever strays into cabaret's sentimental traps or bores with tedious social-democratic punchlines. Not a second with Stermann and Grissemann is a waste of time.

So take this last chance. It won't be to your disadvantage!

"Gags, Gags, Gags!"

"A highlight of Central European humor artistry" (Sir Peter Ustinov, while he was still alive)

"Not the worst" (Jon Stewart)

"For those who find the occasionally brutal duo hard to appreciate, this is likely nothing again. For everyone else, a great evening awaits." (Tagesanzeiger)

Polly Adler - Knietief im Glamour

Lifestyle in a nosedive, bank account a black hole, men exhausted and Jupiter far too long in a coma: There truly is no shortage of nerve-wracking challenges these days.

Then there are the super-woke offspring, an advanced influencer allergy, and esoteric-hysterical friends who suddenly write letters to the universe. And wait for answers!
These are some of the crisis areas of the new Polly Adler show "Knee-Deep in Glamour".

The unsparingly self-ironic troupe, consisting of Petra Morzé, Sona MacDonald, Sigrid Hauser, and the creator of the Polly cult column, Angelika Hager, will rampage again over the boards of their beloved community theater after their hit "Nymphs in Distress".
Dive into a universe where no consideration is given to minorities and where despair is draped in a sequined dress.

"The crises are what's funny in life. Everything that isn't a crisis isn't funny," once said His Loriotness.
And there is hardly a greater crisis than now. Best conditions for the new Polly Adler program, where you can wade glamorously with the Pollyettes through the shallows of the present.

Die Unüberwindlichen - oder von der Presse- zur Erpresserfreiheit

Cornelius Obonya & Florian Scheuba
THE INVINCIBLES
or FROM PRESS FREEDOM TO BLACKMAIL FREEDOM

In a pointedly satirical staged reading with texts by Karl Kraus and Imre Bekessy, as well as quotes and conversations from Wolfgang Fellner, Eva Dichand, and Thomas Schmid, Florian Scheuba and Cornelius Obonya demonstrate how current and accurate Kraus's criticism of corruption and abuse of power in journalism still is today. In his 1928 stage play "The Invincibles," Karl Kraus erected a literary monument to the controversial tabloid newspaper publisher Imre Bekessy.

Almost 100 years later, revelations about the relationship between Austrian tabloid media owners and politics reveal astonishing parallels to the conditions Kraus once addressed.

Andreas Vitasek - Spätlese

The turning point from the perspective of a satirical loner. Herb, but with a hint of residual sweetness, Andreas Vitasek looks at the current issues of our time in his new program "Spätlese". Climate protection, pandemic, political correctness, shameless advertising, artificial intelligence, and natural stupidity are viewed through the lens of a matured, yet by no means serious gentleman. He takes nostalgic trips back to times when everything was supposedly better, touches on his own past as a child from Favoriten, only to find himself as a boomer in the posh diplomatic quarter. And of course, an old acquaintance reappears.

Wir Staatskünstler - Alte Hunde neue Tricks

Life. It's so exhausting. You get a trendy new hairstyle, and a few weeks later, you're back at the hairdresser's. You brush your teeth with fresh mint in the evening and wake up with a stale taste in your mouth. For a dozen years, you've been satirizing Austrian politics and have to realize that yet another new program is needed.

But of course, life is beautiful too. Especially when Thomas Maurer, Robert Palfrader, and Florian Scheuba energetically bounce onto the stage with a brand new program. Cutting, funny, sharp-witted, and of course, minty fresh.

In this, they don't just let politics dictate the agenda but also turn the tables: "Wir Staatskünstler" are actively entering the political competition of the Republic of Austria for the first time. How will they approach it? Let yourself be surprised!

Die Tagespresse History - Eine kurze Geschichte der Österreichheit

We are in deep trouble. Climate crisis, pandemic, war in Ukraine, Wegscheider. How did it come to this? When humans discovered fire, was it really just so they could one day watch the world burn? Or Strache's yacht? How has society transformed into a media hell? Or was it always like this, even during the times of smoke signals and hieroglyphs with hate posts?

Austrians have always had a hand in everything. They will learn all about our country that history class in school kept hidden. Did you know that an Austrian politician was responsible for the Chernobyl nuclear disaster? Who were the terrible pirates who roamed Carinthian waters? How did Servus TV report on the plague epidemic in the Middle Ages? How did oe24 cover the life of Jesus Christ? And speaking of Jesus - have you heard of Herbert from Wels, the long-hidden 13th apostle?

Regener liest Horwath - Horwath macht Musik

Luxury vintage pieces and designer jackets - they have always enchanted and magically attracted musician Florian Horwath.
As a teenager, he deals in Swatch watches in his hometown, selling them to classmates and tourists. With the rise of the internet, the first designer fashion sales platforms appear, and Horwath's collecting passion becomes unstoppable.
Helmut Lang coats! Rolex watches! Raf Simons bombers! Rihanna and Kanye West and the guitarist of Florian's band in the same bomber jacket - how can that be? A possibly fake Rolex, a dangerous fishing lure, an artistically battered package, an obscure machine: all these things Horwath has collected, and in his debut novel, he now tells us their exciting stories.

"Whoever doesn't read this is doing themselves a disservice!", writes Sven Regener about Magic Man and can't contain his excitement. And David Schalko thinks: "It's a funny book. Read it. But just don't start collecting."

Gänsehaut - Austrofred

Heavy stuff! Just in time for the Halloween season, the champion presents ghost and horror stories: about aliens, patron saints, headless skiers, and the prophecies of the Lower Austrian seer Mostradamus. BOO!!!

In his long career as a touring rock musician, Austria's leading Freddie Mercury interpreter Austrofred has experienced quite a lot – and filled numerous successful books with it. But there are still a few stories that he has never told anyone. Out of fear that people would say, come on, now he's completely nuts, that Fred, now he's really lost it.

But eventually, everything comes to light!

All first-hand and complemented by serious fact checks and numerous do-it-yourself instructions for making (hypnotizing chickens, never being buried alive again, my own UFO landing site).

"Do not buy, complain!" one might want to yell in the face of fellow citizens around the world in reverse of the old Hall-of-Fame advertising slogan – but in the world capital of grumbling, that doesn't make any difference, as complaining is deeply ingrained in us Viennese. "Complaining non-stop" is also the DNA and everyday life of the over 50-strong WIENER BESCHWERDECHOR, who have been institutionally puffing up about authorities in general and the unbearable in detail in song for over 15 years, doing so in a musically-activist manner with biting wit, sly groove, and humorously diverse voices.

With their brand new album in tow, Steiner & Madlaina will give a series of exclusive concerts in carefully selected, small locations that place the intense connection between the artists and the audience in the center.
Experience Nora and Madlaina as they once began: raw, authentic, and full of passion.

Andreas Vitasek - Der Herr Karl

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)

ChatGPT, write a press text about the new Maschek program, which deals with the possible end of life as we know it. Through artificial intelligence, turbo-capitalism, post-democracy, and environmental destruction, the enlightened world is in danger. How can one engage with this ironically? The title is EXIT – UNKNOWN EXIT.

ChatGPT: The world as we know it is precariously shaking. Artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules, turbo-capitalism devours its children, post-democracy sends the last illusions into retirement, and the environment desperately fights back against humanity. And us? We watch helplessly – or at least click 'like'.

With their new program EXIT – UNKNOWN EXIT, Maschek dives headfirst into the chaos. What if the future is already here, but no one can find the emergency exit?

Maschek targets the major crises of our time. The end of life as we know it may be unavoidable, but with Maschek, it will at least be entertaining.

Thank you, ChatGPT.

For over 20 years, Maschek has cast a humorous-critical eye on current politics. In countless TV shows and performances, Peter Hörmanseder and Robert Stachel have demonstrated their unparalleled skill in putting new words into the mouths of politicians and celebrities. For many caricatured figures, it has become an honor to appear on Maschek, and it is not uncommon to hear: "This is just like Maschek!"

Starting April 2025, Maschek will be on tour again – with their new stage program EXIT. Across television stations and YouTube channels, Maschek gathers the raw material for an open-ended evening supported by moving images. Synchronized. Improvised. Projected.

Maurer.Kafka.Komisch mit Thomas Maurer

The dark grey-into-black painting, hopeless, desperate, sorrowful Kafka was probably encountered by most of us in German class. Many of us have preferred to avoid him on the path of life after that experience.

On this evening, Thomas Maurer wants to show Kafka's other side, which is not really another side, but often just a different perspective. Kafka's humor is similar to those strangely patterned optical illusions, which you can stare at for a long time without seeing the supposedly hidden signs. But once you discover them, they never go away.

Isn’t it - also - funny when someone wakes up in the morning as a vermin and everyone, including himself, pretends for as long as possible as if nothing has happened?

Thomas Maurer will introduce this Kafka tonight. He may not promise a so-called fireworks of one-liners, but a delicate, bright, alert, consistently grotesque humor, written down by one of the greatest German-language writers and performed by a pretty darn good seasoned cabaret tough guy.

"People surely enjoyed being near him. He could be enthusiastic and rapturous, and there was no end to joking and laughter; indeed, he liked to laugh and hearty and also knew how to make his friends laugh. He was a wonderfully helpful friend."
Max Brod

"I can laugh too, Felice!"
Franz Kafka

Häuptling Abendwind - Johann Nestroy

"Chief Evening Wind or The Grisly Feast" by Johann Nestroy enters the stage of the Rabenhof in 2024 in new clothing. The cannibal peoples of the chiefs Evening Wind and Beaver Rooster are confronted with globalization, intersectional feminism, and the internet. Chief's daughter Atala takes over the show and steps into a cross-generational ring.

The Nestroy classic, premiered in 1862, is more current than ever over 160 years later in a slightly modified language, addressing the questions of the time.

Responsible for this is Yasmin Hafedh aka Yasmo, who is considered one of the best lyricists in the country, covering everything from spoken word to rap. Yasmo takes on Nestroy and brings a magnificent fireworks display of language skills, humor, and music to the stage in her theater debut.

By: Johann Nestroy
Adaptation and direction: Yasmin Hafedh aka Yasmo
Music: Raphael Rameis and Yasmo
With: Bex, Yasmo, Roman Gregory, Raphael Rameis, and Christian Strasser
Set design: Alina Helal and Fekry Helal

"The Cannibal Operetta as a real riot." (Die Presse)

"A star of the evening is also Yasmo's new play text; the slam poet adeptly bridges the most vibrant thoughts with rhyme and rhythm." (Der Standard)

"An exhilarating premiere" (Kurier)

Stermann & Grissemann - Gags, Gags, Gags

After nine years on tour, it will finally be over at the end of 2025. "Gags, Gags, Gags," the seventh live program of the two beloved humorists, is bidding farewell to the stage and finding its final resting place in the cabaret archives of the country.

But even in this last year, the Stermann & Grissemann universe allows for an unexpected expansion of fine insults, sense sabotage, and self-dismantling, nonsense, bizarre parody, parody, and polemics: as usual, the two, who are "actually too good for television" (John Cleese), continue to dart through the self-imposed gag slalom with top-notch performances.

Neither of them, including the German (Stermann), ever strays into cabaret's sentimental traps or bores with tedious social-democratic punchlines. Not a second with Stermann and Grissemann is a waste of time.

So take this last chance. It won't be to your disadvantage!

"Gags, Gags, Gags!"

"A highlight of Central European humor artistry" (Sir Peter Ustinov, while he was still alive)

"Not the worst" (Jon Stewart)

"For those who find the occasionally brutal duo hard to appreciate, this is likely nothing again. For everyone else, a great evening awaits." (Tagesanzeiger)

The turning point from the perspective of a satirical loner. Herb, but with a hint of residual sweetness, Andreas Vitasek looks at the current issues of our time in his new program "Spätlese". Climate protection, pandemic, political correctness, shameless advertising, artificial intelligence, and natural stupidity are viewed through the lens of a matured, yet by no means serious gentleman. He takes nostalgic trips back to times when everything was supposedly better, touches on his own past as a child from Favoriten, only to find himself as a boomer in the posh diplomatic quarter. And of course, an old acquaintance reappears.

Many legends surround the youngest brother of Emperor Franz Josef. Regarded as a free spirit with “special inclinations” and a malicious gossip by some, he also stood out as an art lover and darling of the courtly society. As an eternal bachelor without military or official duties, he lived a life that was otherwise impossible for anyone until several scandals led to a tragic end.

Regarded as a free spirit with “special inclinations” and a malicious gossip by some, he also stood out as an art lover and darling of the courtly society. As an eternal bachelor without military or official duties, he lived a life that was otherwise impossible for anyone until several scandals led to a tragic end.

Successful director Ruth Brauer-Kvam tackles this story and creates, with an extraordinary ensemble led by Tom Neuwirth, also known as Conchita Wurst in his theater debut, a musical-theatrical evening between lavish glamour and heartrending tragedy.
