Ingmar Stadelmann

Ingmar Stadelmann, acclaimed stand-up comedian, has dissected broad social phenomena in his previous stage programs (including “#humorphob,” “Fressefreiheit,” “Verschissmus,” and “Komm ihr klar?”). Now he is targeting a controversial figure who is trampling through the political landscape: Björn Uwe Höcke. With his satirical discourse, Stadelmann devotes himself entirely to the bizarre distortions and promises, the words and career of the AfD leader from Thuringia. Amidst the social explosions, many remain speechless, frozen in shock or indifference. A few, however, are sprucing themselves up to seize the moment. The wolf in sheep's clothing now wears a suit. Once a guidance counselor, Björn Höcke now aspires to national frontal teaching. But even a wolf sometimes finds its hunter. Here, the populist meets the satirist. Ingmar Stadelmann, known as the “master of the evil word” and a virtuoso stand-up comedian, takes a closer look at the insidious “lesson preparations” of the Thuringian AfD leader, whom many say is the real head of the party, in this satirical discourse. Stadelmann takes his queer-colored red pen and picks apart Höcke's published conversations and public speeches. What exactly is so extreme right-wing about Mr. Höcke? After all, he doesn't use the N-word on television, knows how to articulate himself reasonably well, and has a neat parting in his hair. What can be found in terms of content when the punchline is not “Bernd”? It is these obviously fascist and nationalist ideas that the average German has not heard anything about for 70 years. Or has ignored. Ingmar Stadelmann does this true to the motto: Anti-fascism can also be fun! Let's free ourselves from left-wing moral superiority for this evening and indulge in politically incorrect punchlines until the constitution glows. Is Stadelmann trying to lecture? Convert? No. Those who can no longer be reached cannot be reached. No punchline. But for those who watch the whole thing speechless... whether out of indifference or horror, this show is for you! Use humor to dissolve what is considered unbearable. After this show, everyone will have enough arguments to do so. So in the end, no one can say, “We didn't know anything!”
