In the organizer's words:

The best in the northwest -
with Maik Martschinkowsky, Laura Braun and Andreas Langsch


MIXED SHOW
This Thursday evening will be three times more crazy funny and above all entertaining for the audience at the Wilhelmshaven Pumpwerk. On this evening, three newcomers to the cabaret and comedy scene will present various excerpts from their solo programs.

Maik Martschinkowsky is an author, satirist and radio playwright and a member of the Berlin reading stage "Lesedüne" (with Marc-Uwe Kling, Sarah Bosetti, Sebastian Lehmann and Julius Fischer) in the Berlin cult club SO36.
He performs his readings and cabaret programs throughout the German-speaking world.
In his texts and scenes, he addresses the most important issues in politics, morality and society and tries to explain the world to himself. It usually doesn't work. But it is funny.
In addition to numerous contributions to anthologies, he has published the books "Von nichts kommt was" (Voland & Quist) and "Die Welt kann ein Lächeln verändern" (Satyr Verlag) as well as the radio play collection "Juten Tacheles" (Hörbuch Hamburg).
In October 2022, he won the silver Reinheim Satire Lion.
Since March 2024, he has been on the road with his third full-length solo program "Das wird man ja ja noch differenzieren dürfen!".


Rarely has the term "insider tip" been used more aptly than for singer-songwriter LauraBraun, and with good reason: even before her first studio album is released, she has already been awarded numerous prizes, including the Baden-Württemberg Kleinkunstförderpreis and, most recently, the red fist of the legendary Vienna Protest Song Contest.

Laura Braun's subtle compositions are characterized by autobiographical texts and social criticism that hurts. The eloquent Freiburg native ventures into the darkest moments of her own life story with an unmistakable voice and pointed piano playing and does not spare uncomfortable topics such as poverty or depression. Despite the emotionally profound lyricism, the musicology graduate manages the feat of singing about a path that creates courage and hope in the spirit of modern times, and on which it is also possible to laugh out loud. This combination of melancholy and humor, criticism and resistance as well as constant self-reflection in the face of an overwhelming world hits the rapidly growing audience of the up-and-coming artist right in the heart.
A concert evening by Laura Braun is an emotional rollercoaster ride that upsets, reconciles and reverberates for many days to come - a stirring event at the end of which you take away the wonderful feeling of having rewarded yourself.

Andreas Langsch is an award-winning piano cabaret artist, singer, musician and musical performer.

Growing up in Fulda, he danced as a teenager in the successful TSG Künzell dance group, competing for the European Championship in character show dancing, and at the same time discovered the piano for himself. After graduating from high school, he studied musical theater at the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Academy of Music and Theater in Leipzig and was awarded first prize in the HypoVereinsbank "Jugend kulturell" competition and second place in the national singing/musical competition while still a student.
His stage career has led him to numerous leading and supporting roles in major productions such as SINGIN IN THE RAIN, WEST SIDE STORY, COMEDIAN HARMONISTS, CATS and HAIR at renowned theaters in Germany and Switzerland. He realized his desire for his own artistic expression with his piano cabaret, in which he combines music, song, dance, sophisticated texts and humour.
With his debut program "Der Liebesalgorithmus", Andreas Langsch became a shooting star of the cabaret scene. In 2023 and 2024, he won the first jury prize and the audience prize at the Bielefeld Cabaret Prize, the St. Ingberter Pfanne and the Reinheimer Satirelöwen. In April 2025, he won twice again, this time at the Tuttlinger Krähe, where he also won both the audience prize and the 2nd jury prize.
His songs are characterized by musical diversity, wit and at the same time by depth and emotionality, whereby the influence of the musical always remains audible.
Andreas Langsch lives in Hamburg with his wife and child.
