When the cold wind whistles around the yard outside, and the snowflakes drive the chickens into the barn, Luis from South Tyrol does not sit in the warm room and carve wooden sheep, but sets off once again to tell the people down in the valley about his mountain farmer life. And what he has to report is – as we already know – quite a bit.

Packed with a large sack full of gifts, which he distributes to the audience, Luis from South Tyrol once again brings the laughter muscles into high gear. In a show full of tempo, where laughter follows laughter, Luis from South Tyrol interacts with the audience and proves his quick-wittedness time and again. The Christmas program of Luis from South Tyrol is a colorful mix of finest, handmade, and improvised cabaret.

Since 2010, Luis from South Tyrol has taken the stages by storm. Starting from South Tyrol, he has gradually expanded his sphere of influence and is now a well-known name throughout the southern German-speaking region. The Christmas special will take place exclusively in selected locations during the months of November and December.

Han's Klaffl, a retired teacher out of passion and a lifelong state cabaret artist, delves into the widely held clichés about the profession of educators in no less than five cabaret solo programs centered around teachers, students, and parents. He unflinchingly reveals what really happens behind the closed doors of the staff room. He dives into the complicated psyche of teachers, offers valuable tips for structuring parent-teacher meetings, and shares the secrets of stress-free teaching. In a highly entertaining manner, Han’s Klaffl documents the incredible survival strategies that students have developed over the centuries and provides unprecedented, deep insights into the last unexplored biotope of our society: the school.

That these insights into the pedagogical subculture were long overdue is evident from the unwavering interest that teachers, parents, and students have in this self-ironic reckoning. But of course, Han’s Klaffl, as a gifted – or was it favored? – educator knows all too well about the forgetfulness that is as inseparable from the human brain as the liver cheese roll is from the school kiosk. And that’s why there is now a compact course, a refresher, a kind of Best-of, with which Han’s Klaffl fills the memory gaps of his audience. So look forward to an evening with particularly popular numbers from all stage programs, to a double lesson of frontal teaching with piano and double bass, after which there will definitely be no questions left unanswered. But why "a kind of" Best-of? Let yourself be surprised!

Press reviews:
"Klaffl knows how to captivate his audience, hold up a mirror to them, and in the process, shake their laughing muscles vigorously."
Passauer Neue Presse

"A (school) master of cabaret."
Augsburger Allgemeine

"There should be more of his kind."
Bonner Rundschau

Toni Bartl‘s ALPIN DRUMS
Alpen Glow!

Toni Bartl is a master at packaging the rhythm of alpine everyday life into an audio-visual sound spectacle. Virtuosically, his Alpin Drums present the entire range of percussion art. As a true "mountain farmer boy" and world champion on the Styrian harmonica, Bartl knows how to conjure up a spectacular "Alpen Glow" with impressive sound staging.

Starting in autumn, the Alpin Drums will be back on tour with the new show "Alpen Glow!". The professional musicians surprise with new numbers, while the highlights from the first programs must not be missing: ordinary tools of mountain life are so ingeniously and humorously modified into musical instruments that they emit an incredible sound. This humorously merges into an artistic masterpiece that never fails to amaze and delight the audience.

Toolboxes and milk cans groove to clapping hands, knives fly at breathtaking speed onto a snack board, which seconds later serves as a resonating table tennis racket setting the beat. The performance continues acrobatically with an enthralling combination of tapping, clattering, and chair dancing, followed by a virtuoso solo on soup spoons. And even professional cod drummers can hardly keep up with the rich sound of four wooden barrels. The rhythm of the axe, the swishing of the scythe, the hissing of milking – life in the mountains is pure rhythm. And indeed: "The Alps are glowing!".

It must be love: Two brothers argue so wonderfully through the evening, despite previous couples therapy, that it's a true joy. This refined, universal, and heart-touching story brings tears of laughter to the eyes of audiences, whether young or old, for over 90 minutes. Deeply happy faces leave the auditorium: "MUST BE LOVE." Meanwhile, the two stage professionals also create real emotional depth and poetry in their world-class clown comedy piece. They draw their heartfelt humor from the tradition of Karl Valentin, translating the art of Laurel and Hardy into our time, and reminding us of such wonderful comedic actors as Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau.

Over 40 years of St. Pauli Blues! As part of their "40th Anniversary VOL. II" tour, the Hamburg Blues Band presents Hamburg rock shouter Gert Lange, Reggie Worthy (Ike & Tina Turner, Eric Burdon), drummer Eddie Filipp (Sweet, Inga Rumpf, Clem Clempson Band), and the 32-year-old exceptional guitarist Krissy Matthews, "This guy is the real deal" (Beth Hart), performing songs from over 4 decades of HBB & the British guitar shooting stars. Special guest of the St. Pauli blues rockers: Vanja Sky, Croatia's answer to Sheryl Crow & Nora Jones! A musical fireworks display with friends, companions, real characters & originals.

Can it be possible that a completely unprepared actor, without a piece and memorized text, without a rehearsal, entertains a sold-out theater for two hours and convinces the audience until the end that everything is going according to plan?

Can it be that the same cabaret evening under the title "Regeneration Evening" is repeated for over ten years and the audience occasionally expresses: "This is the best thing you have ever done, Mr. Düringer!"?

Can it be that thirty years later, the actor still remembers the unwritten text from back then and brings the stories of Christmas Eve in Favoriten, motorcycle races in the Vienna Woods, of the Jeep dancing on black ice, and the first boring hours at the Burgtheater back to life?

Could it also be that there are new stories to tell from Düringer's life story? Yes, that will be the case! Coming soon to a cabaret stage near you! Because in exciting times, it is good to treat your brain and soul to a regeneration evening.

By the way, did you know that without Hermann Maier, there would be no regeneration evening with Roland Düringer, and that thirty years ago, when the audience was firmly convinced that everything on stage was going according to plan, the unplanned premiere had an unexpected ending? Curious? Good! If you have a question for Mr. Düringer, please bring it with you, that would be a good start.

A HOMMAGE TO THE GREATEST ROCK OPERA OF ALL TIME

featuring Roger Waters' musical director Graham Broad, his son Harry Waters and other musicians from the original Pink Floyd and Roger Waters tours, as well as Berlin Pink Floyd and Echoes.

LONDON - "Run like Hell" - tickets are now available for the tribute to the most legendary concert in rock history "The Wall - in Concert" on... in.... with Roger Waters' son and Roger Waters' "The Wall" musical director Graham Broad.

"The Wall" is one of the greatest rock albums of all time. In 1980/81, Pink Floyd performed the entire album, and Roger Waters then in 1990 at the Berlin Wall between East and West in front of a record audience. Between 2010 and 2013, Roger Waters toured with "The Wall", and at that time, it was the highest-grossing tour by a solo artist ever.

In addition to the music from the cult album "THE WALL", other Pink Floyd songs will be played at the tribute concert, such as "Wish you were here" as an encore or "When the Tigers broke free" from the album "The Final Cut". Roger Waters originally composed this piece for "The Wall". It is about the death of his father in World War II. The other band members found the song too personal, so it was eventually released on "The Final Cut", even though its rightful place would have been on "The Wall".

The audience can look forward to the original songs from "The Wall" concerts as well as original musicians and the directing & author legend Tony Palmer, who discovered Pink Floyd and will introduce the evening.

On February 18, 2025, at 8 PM, the tribute band Piece of Maiden combines its sheer heavy metal power with the renowned symphony orchestra Muzikon for an exceptional concert experience. Muzikon boasts an impressive history of performances and collaborations with international stars, including Jörg Winkler, Abraham Kreftmeijer, Cordelia Höfer Teutsch, Boris Berezovsky, the Bizjak Duo, and Stefan Milenković, as well as members of the world's most famous orchestras, such as the Bamberg Symphony and the Royal Concertgebouw from Amsterdam.

Look forward to a spectacular musical crossover, where guitars and violins, drums and trumpets merge to bring the timeless, unparalleled hits of Iron Maiden to life in a completely new, symphonic dimension. Classics like Aces High, The Trooper, Fear of the Dark, Run to the Hills, and Hallowed Be Thy Name will be experienced in an exciting, newly interpreted version. Additionally, you can expect some pieces that seamlessly integrate into the majestic sound of the orchestra.

As a special guest, the heavy metal band Centurion will perform.

Be there when heavy metal and symphony fuse into an unforgettable experience!

All music written by Mira Lu Kovacs

After ten albums and numerous collaborations in eleven years, an unprecedented calm has spread over Mira Lu Kovacs. The nine tracks on Please, Save Yourself are the result of self-empowerment and the appeal to do what no one else can take from you. It is the breakthrough that only unfolds after working for an unimaginably long time (e.g., ten years) on your own salvation.

Mira Lu Kovacs is aware of the political dimension of individual experience and its musical translation. Please, Save Yourself is the album that flows through in one go and gets stuck on repeat, a hovering intervention, drawing a healthy line, the mantra to make the turn, and ultimately - despite all difficulties - a catapult into the Love Zone.

Making music in such a checked-out way while writing such catchy songs - Mira Lu Kovacs creates incredibly beautiful music and knows the exact balance. With Manu Mayr on bass and Günther Paulitsch on drums, she has two highly sensitive musicians by her side from diametrically opposite corners of experimental music to synth pop. The strength and pull of the songs arise from the minimalist density and their clever timing.

Manu Mayr co-produced Please, Save Yourself. The two have created a high-end sound with analog, tangible, spatial character - rich, always warm, round, and very close. Every detail is cleverly crafted. Even if you don’t know that you hear it, you hear it: When Mira Lu Kovacs uses a 50-year-old Japanese electric guitar specifically for the distortion because no other reacts as well to the effects pedal. When she brushes the steel strings of her traveling guitar with a small guitar bow and creates an orchestral sound that one initially cannot categorize in its size and musical intimacy.

Ultimately, you don't want to stop loudly singing along to her absolutely serious yet playful statements, for one minute and ten seconds: "I care for you I don’t care for anybody else"

ESODERRISCH – "To Laugh and Reincarnate"

1 man, 23 roles, countless punchlines!
An overwhelming comedic comedy show – for those seeking meaning and skeptics!

“I will be 92!”, proclaims the hairdresser Vreni. A fortune teller told her so. But just a few days later, Vreni finds herself where she actually didn’t want to be for a long time: in the afterlife. It’s just as bureaucratic there as it is on Earth. God and Peter are away on holiday. And so, two overwhelmed heavenly officials send Vreni back to Earth for the time being. While God and Peter are on vacation, Vreni is to search for the meaning of life on Earth. On her journey, Vreni encounters a highly eccentric angelic woman, a power-hungry Greek healer, a bizarre fortune teller, a psychologist in an esoteric trance, a narrow-minded traditional physician, and many other wonderfully quirky characters from whom the sweetly naive hairdresser hopes to find answers. Vreni can hardly believe it. Are all healers really money-hungry? Are priests mainly obsessed with sex? Does God really exist and is there life after death? Or is everyone just cooking with (holy) water? That Vreni also encounters Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gerda Rogers, Udo Jürgens, and Marcel Reich-Ranicki is, like so much else in this program, initially in the realm of the supernatural…

“Esoderrisch” is a bit like riding a roller coaster – colorful, exciting, and uproariously funny. The press celebrates the program as “cabaret of the highest class” (Der Neue Grazer) and as “the most outstanding cabaret program in many years” (Grazetta). And indeed, “Esoderrisch” can hardly be compared to anything else. Gernot Haas succeeds with his original first solo program in creating a new form of German-speaking comedy. He plays all 23 characters “so convincingly that one completely forgets that the same man is standing in front of you.” (Grazetta)

A fast-paced evening with a continuous story, surprising twists, masterful transformation artistry, and overwhelming comedy.

In short: an evening you should not miss!

With their critically acclaimed debut album "STRESS" (Noisolution), released in 2021, 24/7 DIVA HEAVEN made it unambiguously clear: They have come to stay. Or to put it in the words of "Classic Rock" magazine: "Brash. Relevant. Great. Period." Just shortly after the release of their debut, the Berlin trio is on everyone's lips and fills the pages of the local music press. With their musical hybrid of punk, grunge, and noise, 24/7 Diva Heaven creates a world where one is allowed to scream, scratch, and bite – and ultimately hugs it out. Fuzzy riffs meet catchy hook lines, political messages meet self-irony. 24/7 DIVA HEAVEN say what they think and hit a nerve: They deliver a soundtrack that fits perfectly into these uncertain times, not settling for platitudes, but leaving room for the spaces in between. The fact that the band is especially known for their massive sound and powerful live performances is evidenced by their rapidly growing fan base and countless shows, including at WDR Rockpalast, Pop-Kultur Festival, as support for DREAM WIFE and BEATSTEAKS, as well as a co-headliner tour with TEAM SCHEISSE. "The best thing I've seen live since NIRVANA," said one fan. Katharina Ott-Alavi (voc, guitar), Karoline Paschedag (bass), and Marie Westphal (drums) are not only a unit away from the stage, but also a concentrated energy in the spotlight, waiting to be unleashed.

The band is active not only in the rehearsal room and on stage but also shows political engagement, among other things as founders of the Berlin collective GRRRL-NOISY, which organizes jam sessions and festivals and provides a networking space for FLINTA musicians and music fans.

On October 11, 2024, their long-awaited second album "GIFT" will be released on Noisolution, seamlessly fitting into the tradition of the debut "STRESS" and will be presented live for the first time in selected cities as part of an album release tour in autumn 2024. 24/7 DIVA HEAVEN's second long-player comes with more differentiated songwriting, without sounding even remotely less angry. The album is furious, political, and never shy of great melodies. On "GIFT," what had already begun to develop on "STRESS" is condensed, resulting in an eclectic album, somewhere between IDLES, PIXIES, PABST, and MELVINS, which boldly deconstructs the sound of old idols and reconstructs it in a contemporary outfit.

The vocal range "Countertenor" is usually associated with heroic roles in operas by Handel, with Bach Passions, and generally with Baroque music in historically informed performance practice, much less with song singing or folk music. In rock and pop music, men often sing in this high register, but with a completely different vocal technique. Alois Mühlbacher, who has already attracted attention as a soloist of the St. Florian Boys' Choir, also demonstrates as an adult countertenor that he offers extraordinary performances in all styles. He is an internationally sought-after soloist in the field of Baroque music, but also gives song recitals with romantic and modern repertoire.



The Upper Austrian "Spring String Quartet" has been one of the leading jazz-rock-classical crossover string quartets in Europe since its founding in 1997, shattering all common "violin music" clichés and redefining the artistic possibilities of the classical string quartet.
Together with Alois Mühlbacher, the ensemble produced a widely acclaimed music video two years ago: the (in a brilliant arrangement by Georg Wiesinger with Mozart music underlying it) Queen song "Don't stop me now".



From this success, an artistic friendship emerged, which has already led to national and international successes of "Counter & Strings" with a diverse program ranging from Baroque music to Franz Schubert to Hubert von Goisern for audiences.

Betty O - not to KABARETT




Those who do not fit into any drawer either have a mouth too big or an instrument too big with them. Betty O has both. The woman from South Styrian, who brought home the international cultural market award "Freiburger Leiter" as the first Austrian, rhymes through the parables of life at the piano and is not to KABARETTed in her facets. Once cast as a musical performer by world stars like Roman Polanski and Björn Ulvaeus, the entertainer and songwriter now transforms everything that bothers her into colorful to bittersweet mouth songs, with a hint of leftover sugar in her voice and acidity in the lyrics. And that occasionally includes the South Styrian wine due to her origins. So when Betty O presses her multifaceted programs, no eye stays dry and the glass is always half full instead of half empty.

Martina Reuter with her first cabaret program



MARTINA REUTER - a multitalent as it says in the dictionary - moderator, author, designer, expert, shopping queen. But she is always more. She is loud, flashy, colorful, and above all one thing - FEMALE! As a styling expert in the service of the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation, she is not only known for her crazy outfits but also for her humorous remarks far beyond the borders of Austria.


So it was only a matter of time before this power woman took to the domestic cabaret stages! In 2025 it will happen - the minister of belly, legs, and buttocks makes her debut with the sonorous cabaret program “A Butt Rarely Comes Alone”.

What can the audience expect? Well, exactly that! Lots of femininity and a colorful, flashy evening full of laughter that could almost count as a workout session for the belly. Laughter has always been the best medicine. Whether Martina will be elected the new health minister by the end of the evening, or simply remain the undisputed feel-good guarantor of women and the lover of women in their prime, remains to be seen.

“A Butt Rarely Comes Alone” is by no means only made for women, as men will also get their money's worth here and get to know women in a humorous way from a completely new perspective. One thing is for sure, after this evening, terms like “shapewear,” “kitten heels,” and “empire line” will no longer be foreign words for anyone. (Press text)
