SPITZENREITER - that's the name of Matze Knop's new stage program. Together with his horse buddy, he daringly rides through the madness of our everyday lives. Matze faces all the pitfalls and challenges of these crazy times in his well-known humorous and ironic way.

From artificial intelligence and self-service checkouts to the suffering of SUV drivers, like Matze himself, to spelt villages on cargo bikes and politicians who get tangled up in their own statements like cable headphones in a rucksack. And what would Matze be without soccer? Whether Champions League or district league, VAR drama or dream goal - Matze converts every punchline as surely as Messi converts a penalty kick. With a sharp eye and humor, he takes aim at the absurdities of the most beautiful sport in the world and has his sights firmly set on the 2026 World Cup. Of course, his unmistakable parodies such as Kloppo, Jogi, Ronaldo, Lodda and Diedää are not missing. Matze also takes his audience back to the 80s, 90s and 2000s - a time with Leckmuschel, Ed vom Schleck and Walkman through the outdoor pool, without WLAN, but with Tamagotchi. Memories of teletext, ICQ "uh-ohhh!" and wild dance interludes to Wham! and the Backstreet Boys alternate with today's melancholy singer-songwriters and dating questions à la Swipe left/right. Matze brings it all back - with a wink, humor and self-irony.
One thing is certain: no two evenings are the same. Spontaneous, quick-witted and close to the audience, he takes every situation in his stride. Improvisation, interaction and surprises are an integral part of the concept. Whether soccer, parodies, politics or pop culture - Matze is and remains the SPITZENREITER of good humor.

SPITZENREITER: A wild ride through the past, present and the madness of our everyday lives. Humorous, fast-paced, spontaneous - always in the fast lane. He who laughs, leads! Be there!
