Neues Theater Höchst

The biggest advantage in the life of a stand-up comedian? No matter what happens to you, every lucky streak and every catastrophe - at some point it turns into a brilliant stage act. Pure gold! And so Markus Barth gets out the shovel in his new live show and digs for the nuggets. The master of maximum-minimalist stand-up digs everywhere where it sparkles - but also where it hurts. He ploughs through his own biography, feuding through current affairs and even looks into the future for his audience ("From what age do I actually have to stomp through German wine villages in racing bike click shoes?"). Along the way, he chats only seemingly harmlessly with the audience, spares no one (especially not himself) and effortlessly manages the balancing act between pain and punchline. Because: comedy is tragedy plus time. Well, and a few jokes don't hurt either. But believe us: Markus Barth has enough of them.
