The serious pursuit of silliness

Two humor workers read their favorite satires and chat.

One is one of the most popular TV and movie 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.
