Horst Evers und Freunde

This time, Horst Evers welcomes guests to his reading show who all have a connection to music: Jörg Maurer, Manfred Maurenbrecher, Martina Brandl and Moritz Netenjakob present quirky stories with the right musical timing.

Jörg Maurer was a music cabaret artist before he became a bestselling author with his cult crime novels about Inspector Jennerwein. In his new novel "Leergut", he proves that you can also write a humorous book about dementia. Daniel feels fit as a fiddle. He doesn't care that he sometimes forgets things until his doctor tells him that he has Alzheimer's disease. He quickly drifts away from reality and falls from one adventure into the next.

"Prima, fein gemacht!" is the title of the new volume of stories and columns by Martina Brandl. In it, the author, musician and cabaret artist reveals, for example, what a fish sandwich thinks, what a highway bridge prefers to talk about, what ticks write on their protest signs and why learning from dogs means learning to lie.

It goes without saying that Manfred Maurenbrecher is one of the most important songwriters in Germany. What is less well known is that he also writes novels and stories full of bizarre observations, whether from Berlin or his second home in the Uckermark. Finally, Moritz Netenjakob may not play an instrument himself, but the author and comedian has written the librettos for several musicals. His Cologne musical "Heaven and Hell" has long enjoyed cult status. Most recently, "Kalter weißer Mann" celebrated its premiere. Of course, presenter Evers himself will also enrich the evening as a master of absurd comedy, for example with samples from his latest book "Zu faul zum Nichtstun".
