Reiner Kröhnert „ER – Jetzt wird’s MERZWÜRDIG“

Stephen King’s *IT* may have been defeated, but don’t worry: its successor is already here and goes by the illustrious name of Friedrich Merz. Who would have thought that the true “monster” of our time is a 1.98-meter-tall Teuton?

Reiner Kröhnert, the master of biting parody, brings this very Friedrich Merz to the stage. With his very own “Merz-worthy” style, he shows us that political cabaret isn’t dead after all. Whether he’s satirizing Donald Trump, Angela Merkel, Robert Habeck, or even tennis legend Boris Becker—no celebrity is spared by Kröhnert. It’s this subtle cruelty that makes the laughter almost hurt, but that’s exactly why it hits the mark so perfectly.

And now for the shocking news: His new show, “ER – Jetzt wird’s MERZwürdig!” (“ER –Now It’s Getting MERZ-worthy!”), isn’t just about a little satire. No, Kröhnert really lets loose, shaking even the most stable government structures to their core.

Kröhnert’s 1.98 meters and Merz’s 1.98 meters—that really leaves only one question unanswered: Did Merz perhaps pick up his delusions of grandeur from Kröhnert? You’d almost think it’s the double Friedrich, so perfectly does Kröhnert imitate the slick political rhetoric of our “favorite chancellor.”

And that’s not all: On October 4, 2025, Reiner Kröhnert was awarded the “BERLIN CABARET PRIZE – THE EDDI” for his contributions to “Merz-worthy” entertainment culture.

Curtain up forReiner Kröhnert’sspicy celebrity panopticon! HE knows: “Laughter is hope’s last weapon.” And rest assured: with this show, your laughter is guaranteed to get stuck in your throat.
