Wilfried Schmickler: Es hört nicht auf!

In the organizer's words:

German Cabaret Prize 2021

Wilfried Schmickler - one of the great political cabaret artists of this country - presents after many years on stage again a very special program, because it does not stop with the idiocy and injustice in this world, with social inequality, hatred and intolerance. But Schmickler's desire to do something about it doesn't stop either!
And so he travels again over the stages of this republic, armed with the words of truth, which he knows how to lead mercilessly and razor-sharp, and prepares for the audience a brilliant, breathtaking evening.

It is in the quieter moments that Wilfried Schmickler truly shines. Those in which he delivers polished sentences with outstanding precision, in which he is sharp and poetic at the same time. When he tells stories with satirical wit or packs social criticism into verses of exquisite elegance beyond his beloved stringing together of catchwords, the full radiance of a cabaret artist is revealed.

He interweaves calabers with bitter satire...as you don't often hear it more precise, sharper and meaner, in short: better on German cabaret stages. FAZ
