Bernd Stelter - Sonne im Herzen, Blödsinn im Kopp! - Kempen Kultur Festival 2027

BERND STELTER has been one of the defining personalities of the German entertainment scene for decades. He has been delighting audiences as a cabaret artist, musician, author and TV presenter for over 35 years - with an unmistakable blend of humor, music and quiet, thoughtful nuances.

His artistic roots lie in the Rhineland carnival, where his career began at the end of the 1980s. He later became known nationwide through radio and television formats, including as a long-standing member of the cult show "7 Tage, 7 Köpfe". BERND STELTER has also enjoyed great success as an author: in addition to humorous non-fiction books, he has published several novels, including his popular camping thrillers, which reached the SPIEGEL bestseller list.

The stage has been at the center of his artistic work for many years. He successfully tours all over Germany with his solo programs - always with the aim of not only making his audience laugh, but also making them think. Music plays a special role in this: as a singer and multi-instrumentalist, BERND STELTER combines stories and songs to create very personal moments.

In his new program "Sonne im Herzen, Stödsinn im Kopp!" (Sun in the heart, nonsense in the head!), the focus is precisely on this musical side. For BERND STELTER, songs are little miracles: in just a few minutes, they can tell stories, capture moods and convey emotions - sometimes humorous, sometimes thoughtful, sometimes upbeat, sometimes melancholy.

He writes his songs like other people write diaries. They tell of what moves him: Was there sunshine in his heart? Or a bit of nonsense in his head? Perhaps both.

The song recital "Sonne im Herzen, Blödsinn im Kopp!" combines all of this - a life in music, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes full of joie de vivre and then thoughtful again. And at the end is exactly what a good evening should leave behind: After two hours of laughter, dreaming, singing along and smiling, the audience goes home with a warm feeling.
