Katja Berlin - Torten der Wahrheit

Katja Berlin will once again embark on a major tour of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in the fall of 2026 with her hit series “Die Torten der Wahrheit” (The Cakes of Truth). Her new stage show centers on her latest book, “Wann eine Idee für gut befunden wird” (When an Idea Is Deemed Good).
For years, Katja Berlin has been delighting an audience of millions with her legendary “cake charts.” What began as satirical infographics has long since evolved into a stage format all its own: clever, incisive, surprisingly political—and always deeply funny.
Her latest book, “Wann eine Idee für gut befunden wird,” brings together Katja Berlin’s most recent socially critical graphics on the major issues of our time: the shift to the right, the climate crisis, misogyny, cuts to social services, and why online shopping is so annoying.
She now brings these topics to life on stage—with new diagrams, sharp wit, and keen observational skills. Blending statistics, satire, and self-deprecating humor, she breaks down decision-making processes, majority opinions, and social dynamics into their individual components. What appears sobering turns out to be a hilarious analysis of our times.
“The Pies of Truth” 2026 promises an evening full of clever punchlines, surprising shifts in perspective, and very clear pie charts. A show for everyone who wants to know how we can keep our sense of humor in times of crisis.
“The Cakes of Truth” promises an evening that alternates between punchlines and political insights, offering a clear-eyed look at what we as a society accept as “true”—or reject. The show is aimed at anyone who wants to question themselves and our shared reality—and have a good laugh in the process.
