AZNZ 2.0 - Christoph Sonntag

When Christoph Sonntag takes the stage, sharp social commentary, Swabian charm, and plenty of laughs are guaranteed. On Friday, November 13, 2026, the “King of Swabian Cabaret” will be performing his new show, “AZNZ 2.0,” at the Kurhaus in Bad Rappenau.

Christoph Sonntag is as well-known in “The Länd” as a “Bunt Dog”: on ARD as a champion of a good cause on “Meister des Alltags,” and as a cast member on “Verstehen Sie Spaß?,” where he repeatedly plays funny pranks on his fellow humans. And, of course, as “Brother Christophorus” in his cult show “Das jüngste Gerü(i)cht,” where he takes aim at the politicians in attendance with a Lenten sermon.

But his true strength lies in live performances; that’s where he truly shines, whether he’s interacting with the audience or putting on his wild, technically elaborate cabaret show. “AZ-NZ, Alte Zeiten, Neue Zeiten”—that was the name of Christoph Sonntag’s hit cult comedy on SWR3, and it shattered all records! It thrilled millions on the radio, and the TV recording from the Porsche Arena has since been broadcast over two dozen times on ARD.

Now the “King of Swabian Cabaret” (SWR) is returning with this very same cult classic; after all, the “New Times” of back then have now become today’s “Old Times”

of today! And today, tomorrow is already yesterday! Christoph Sonntag with his new show “AZNZ 2.0”—topical and spectacular, with an elaborate production and guaranteed to have you laughing until you cry!

A fantastic stage design that’s second to none, groovy musical interludes, sharp-tongued verbal acrobatics, and a constant stream of natural wit and mischief impressively demonstrate that SWR is—and always has been—right to call Christoph Sonntag the “King of Swabian Cabaret.” Anyone who misses this show is already yesterday’s news!
