Christoph Maria Herbst & Moritz Netenjakob

The serious pursuit of silliness

Two humor workers read their favorite satires and chat

One is one of the most popular TV and cinema actors in Germany. The other is a bestselling author and cabaret artist. And both have a lot in common: They love fine satire, quick role changes and Loriot.

On this exclusive evening, they will not only talk about their passion for intelligent humor - they will also give the audience plenty of samples of satirical writing culture: be it sketches by a certain Vicco von Bülow or a letter of apology that Herbst wrote to his religion teacher as a pupil; be it sarcastic texts from Netenjakob's pen or live excerpts from Herbst's favorite audiobooks; be it scenes from Netenjakob's successful novel "Macho Man" or from the cult series "Stromberg".

When Germany's most successful audiobook reader (Herbst) takes to the microphones with a "gifted parodist" (Kölner Rundschau about Netenjakob), you can expect a variety of voices and humorous colors that is certainly unique in this combination.
