The New Heinz Erhardt Revue
The best jokes, poems, and songs.
“The New Heinz Erhardt Revue” transports the audience into the fascinating world of one of Germany’s greatest comedians. With the finest mischievous wit and masterful wordplay, as well as a mix of his most famous poems, songs, and humorous sketches, the show celebrates the legacy of a man who is regarded as a master of comedy not only in Germany but also beyond its borders.

Patrick L. Schmitz, himself a lifelong admirer of Erhardt, slips into the role of the great comedian with dedication. Together with the ensemble—comprising the multifaceted Aline Joers, the versatile Gerald Ließ, and the “eminent keyboard virtuoso” Franz Tröger—he transforms the stage into the very heart of humor. The ensemble has made it their mission to recreate Erhardt’s inimitable timing, his wordplay, and his beloved slip-ups with respect and a breath of fresh air.

The revue is not only a collection of Erhardt’s greatest works but also an impressive display of artistic talent that leaves the audience in fits of laughter. Classics such as “Das Nasshorn,” “Die Made,” and the often-quoted wordplays are delivered with an ease reminiscent of Erhardt’s characteristic performances.

Patrick L. Schmitz’s resemblance to Heinz Erhardt—both in his appearance and his performance—is striking and has even been enthusiastically embraced by Erhardt’s family. Thus, the revue is not merely a tribute but serves as a window back to the time when Heinz Erhardt himself conquered the stages of Germany.

An event that celebrates the German language, playfully pokes fun at it, and highlights its quirky facets makes “The New Heinz Erhardt Revue” an unmissable cultural event. Audiences can look forward to an unforgettable evening full of laughter and nostalgic moments, keeping alive the memory of one of the true greats of comedy.
