Matthias Reuter „Ich bin noch gut“ - Kabarett mit Klavier

“I’m still good.” That’s what it said on the yogurt at the supermarket, but it also applies to musical cabaret performers. When Matthias Reuter recently called the eye doctor’s office, the cheerful receptionist told him the following: “Hahaha. Yeah, all those people born in the ’70s—they’re all starting to fall apart now.”
She should know. She’s the one who schedules the appointments.

Matthias Reuter was born in 1976, but he still considers himself fixable. That’s why he’s returning to the stage to present new songs and uplifting musical cabaret for these changing times. With humorous escape reflexes. Because “Laugh or run?”—that’s the question of our time. With Reuter, the urge to run grows stronger. Preferably far, far away. Because nothing makes sense to him anymore: the news is getting worse, but the newspaper subscription is getting more expensive anyway. There are more and more celebrities, but not a single one you recognize. And if tech billionaires rule the world, why does everything still feel so much like the Stone Age? Matthias Reuter isn’t quite so comfortable with his hand axe. That’s why his only escape is humor. And so he sets out in search of ways to not take today’s world as seriously as it would like to be taken. Because only those who don’t take the situation too seriously are still up to the task of dealing with the gravity of the situation. That’s the motto. That’s what the receptionist says, too. So get off the couch and head to the cabaret! It’s much easier to get a ticket than an appointment with the eye doctor.

Press quotes about the show:
“Despite the many laugh-out-loud moments in his show, the man from Oberhausen always maintains a high level of subtle thoughtfulness, often paired with the finest kind of pitch-black humor.”

“Anyone who likes Roski will love Reuter.”
