In the organizer's words:

On January 18, 2026 there will be a lot of laughter again in Wilhelmshaven! A fantastic mix of cabaret and comedy awaits you again!

The evening will once again be hosted by the wonderful Lutz von Rosenberg Lipinsky. He has been on tour for more than 30 years now, observing, criticizing, parodying and describing the state of our country. In doing so, he pulls the rug out from under our feet. Just to get us moving, of course. So that we can finally move forward. Because little has changed in Germany in recent decades. We sit out. We wait and see. We are a nation of sitters and drivers. But we need movement. And someone who calls for it. Stand up. For your right. To party. It's worth getting up for that. Not just in the morning.
He has once again brought along a load of the funniest comedians and cabaret artists in Germany and the evening promises to be a firework display of cabaret! The exquisite guests of this show are:

René Sydow is Germany's most linguistically powerful cabaret artist and he now addresses and expresses what is veiled, hushed up and talked about in our language and society. He dissects the language of domination and internet babble, lets the hot air out of frothers and blowhards, exposes phrase-mongers and word-mongers. Where others blather, he talks straight. Where people babble, he states the facts. Instead of blah-blah, there are thoughts. Instead of larifari: sense. And when the audience asks: "Can you say it like that?", the cabaret artist answers: "Yes, but only in full sentences."

Jacky Feldmann would probably still be lying comfortably in a meadow with a Tetra Pak under his arm and a sunflower in his hair if school hadn't suddenly ended. What to do with her newfound future? Become a chemist, a policewoman or a sewage diver? Jacky initially aspired to a career as a hammer thrower (no shit), but this fell through due to her rather petite frame and squeaky throwing voice. In the end, she opted for a desk job at the tax office. Everyday life moved in, but so did the comedy. The young Sauerland native already knew that VAT and value added tax are not Pokemons. But the stories that Jacky experienced as a tax officer speak their own language...

Lars Ruth is the seer. A person who is said to perceive supernatural things. The seer's abilities are suspected and claimed, doubted and marveled at... and yet the uncertainty remains as to whether we are facing a person gifted with a special gift - or a charlatan. Lars Ruth is both. He is a gifted charlatan! And he is someone who means well with you! Sensitive and emphatic, Lars Ruth takes you on a journey into the world of the supernatural, where you too will doubt whether your guide has "the gift" and whether you can trust your senses. Follow him on an expedition into the realm of fortune-tellers and visionaries, hypnotists and dream interpreters. But don't be surprised if you feel like Alice when Lars Ruth leads you down the rabbit hole and you discover Wonderland...

If you don't know Sebastian Krämer, you might not even know that this is possible at the same time: music that touches and surprises and lyrics of haunting polish that tell entire novels in a few minutes, make a little thing full of humor shine or tear us into abysses of horror or longing. In addition, a sensitively delicate voice that succinctly plays over the often ruthless jokes in order to trace the subtleties. But yes, you will laugh on an evening with Sebastian Krämer. Even all the time. But in the end, you won't think that this is the decisive yield.
