Textbomben

ATTENTION! The text bombs are going off. Kirsten Fuchs, Susanne M. Riedel, and Ella Carina Werner are breaking the mold. They read honest, wild, very funny stories about everyday collisions. They recite radical, feminist animal poems. And they sing when they feel like it. Like mythical creatures, they enchant one city after another with their crude yet poetic texts. The content is relevant, the themes taboo-free and humorously delightful. “I haven't laughed like this in a long time,” says the audience after the performances and asks when the three unholy queens of the German reading scene will return. But they can only be in one place at a time. Don't miss out when the text bombs are in your city! Kirsten Fuchs is a writer, columnist, and has been a member of Berlin's reading stages for over 20 years. Her current book is called “Muttermund tut Wahrheit kund” (The cervix proclaims the truth). “Kirsten Fuchs masterfully plays the keyboard of comedy between silliness, wordplay, situational comedy, and social criticism.” (From the laudatory speech for the Kassel Prize for Comic Literature) Susanne M. Riedel “finds the gold nuggets of comedy in the murky river of everyday life” (Bodo Wartke). She is a shining light on Berlin's stages, an expert in cheerful wilting, and celebrates the “good moments” as if there were a tomorrow. Her current collection of stories is entitled “Lebensmitte-Allergie – mein Leben in AutoKorrektur” (Midlife Allergy – My Life in AutoCorrect) . Basically, so is her current life. Ella Carina Werner is a satirist, co-editor of “Titanic,” member of the Hamburg reading show “Dem Pöbel zur Freude” (To the Delight of the Mob), and author of comic poems, most recently published in the bestseller “Der Hahn erläutert unentwegt der Henne, wie man Eier legt” (The Rooster Constantly Explains to the Hen How to Lay Eggs). Her stage stories read “like Kafka after a good joint” (Spiegel Online).
