Stephan Bauer - Am Ende der Nerven... und noch so viel Ehe übrig

After 20 years of marriage, everyone asks themselves, “Is this it already? How much longer will this go on? What has become of my dreams if my spouse has nothing left to say to me—except ‘take your pills.’” The secret to a happy marriage is apparently a secret. That’s why we say “marry” and not “know.”

Could complete openness be the key to more happiness in marriage? But who can actually bring themselves, after 20 years, to ask their partner honestly, “Are you as bored as I am?” A wise man would rather say nothing to his wife.

So what to do when couples therapists don’t have any open appointments? Buy a ticket to see Stephan Bauer! Marriage counseling helps, yoga helps, but shouting “Shit!” in good spirits at a comedy night is cheaper. After 30 years of marital trials and tribulations, he knows: Everyone wants to pin their partner to the wall sometimes. The key is to take them down again afterward. So let’s just look at the misery with a sense of humor. “Yeah, my partner’s a little off their rocker, but look how beautifully they roll.”

Stephan Bauer’s new show delves into the relationship abysses of modern life, but also shows how we can rebuild bridges that have been torn down. Two hours of marital fun to make us all feel better. A microphone, a barstool, punchlines coming thick and fast, laughter without a break. And the best part: the ticket is included in your therapy session.
