In the organizer's words:

"Text makes reading beautiful"
Christian Fürchtegott Rosencrantz (1756 - shortly after 8)

Jochen Malmsheimer, the multi-award-winning cabaret artist and "King of Comedians" (Nürnberger Zeitung), is the master of epic cabaret. His passionate delivery is unmistakable, full of relish and in ever new forms he blurs the boundaries between nonsense and poetry. No two words are the same here.
Thus, right at the beginning of the program "If words could talk or: 14 days in the life of an hour" ruthless openness is agreed on all points: At last, over fifty years after the end of the war in Germany, the connection between the train station and glue is brought up. Now that's something!
A whole lot happens after that too, even Bärbel Höhn, who has rightly fallen into oblivion, comes to unexpected prominence. Until finally it is explained what would happen "if words could speak". After all, the business of speaking, which almost everyone does unashamedly in every situation in life, is more complicated than one would generally think. So how should words fare? This is exactly what the audience learns from Jochen Malmsheimer at the end of this highly entertaining program in a brilliant finale. You may not feel any better afterwards, but you will know where your opponent is sitting and, above all, for how much longer.

Press on the program:

"Literary comedy of sparkling intelligence." (Stefan Keim)

"Cabaret, which is increasingly being leveled to mediocrity, is seldom seen as clever and linguistically ingenious, as little pandering, as confident and passionate as Malmsheimer does." (Heinz Kirchner, FAZ)

"A thunderstorm! A brute literary treat! (HNA)

"Linguistically sophisticated, subtle, funny. The title "If words could talk" conceals two hours of linguistic-humoristic fireworks." (MERKUR)

"This man is indescribable. What Jochen Malmsheimer presents on stage is enough to completely flatten his audience in two hours with his concentrated power of speech. The satirical friend is a stage animal in a class of his own. Without point or comma and seemingly without taking a breath, the grammar guru hurls (foreign) words at his fans. It's impossible to remember his tapeworm jokes, let alone reproduce them - but it's enough to make you laugh."
