Comedy by Norm Foster
They fell in love, laughed, argued, sought happiness and got married. They shaped their future and yet lost each other again. It is now three years and nine months since Rudy and Nora’s marriage ended in front of a judge. The chance reunion in a restaurant is both a joyful and painful memory, and perhaps also a bit of hope.

03-05.10.2024 Eva Eiselt: “Jetzt oder Sie!” at 19:30 at STATT-THEATER
The end of the PatriarChat – you have left the group.
Eva Eiselt is no longer an insider tip. She has long since won household appliance prizes ranging from the Stuttgart Broom to the St. Ingbert Pan and so the current winner of the German Cabaret Prize leaps onto the stage full of energy, feeding several kilowatt hours into our intellectual power grid along the way.
Eva Eiselt remains her own boss – and that as a woman – and gives everything for what we urgently need again and again.

03.10.2024 Enlightenment To Go – The coaching cabaret show at 7.30 pm at Kolpinghaus
A wild mix of comedy and inspiration: this stage program is the over-the-counter motivational pill for getting on with the important things in life.
Here, everything revolves around the question: How can I bring more light back into my life despite the daily madness?

During a performance by Mister Memory, a man who earns his money with his incredible memory, shots are fired.

As punishment, she sends him a calm so that his ships cannot sail any further towards Troy…

09.10.2024 Suchtpotenzial at 20.00 at the Alte Mälzerei cultural center
Ten years of SUCHTPOTENZIAL, that’s ten years of “tits, keys, temperaments”! Despite all adversity, Germany’s most successful alcopop duo always remains hairy but fair.

In this way, he creates his very own sound universe between hip hop, free jazz, sound experiment and noise.
At the Ostentor Cinema in Regensburg, he and legendary Krump performer KOFIE DA VIBE will present a show of uncompromising turntable art, large-scale shadow projection and expressive street dance created especially for the movie theater.

10-12.10.2024 Justus Krux: “Kommste noch auf nen Kaffee mit hoch?” at 7.30 pm at the STATT-THEATER cabaret stage
Jura Light program
You think the letters “BGB” are a WhatsApp abbreviation for “Please let me know” and BGH for “Going home soon!”
You don’t know the difference between “interpreting contracts” and “laying out carpets”? In other words: you don’t understand the lawyers and the lawyers don’t understand you! Then it’s time for Justus Krux.
In his new program, he brings people closer to “law light” – from the lawyer’s point of view, honest, open, ironic – simply humorously different…

10.10.2024 Stefan Kröll at 20:00 at the Alte Mälzerei cultural center
Aufbruch! is the name of Stefan Kröll’s current cabaret program, with which the cabaret artist is going on tour. Departure into a new era? A departure from entrenched ways of thinking or simply a departure with the game – a Bavarian answer to Goethe’s “the crux of the matter”? As ambiguous as the title are his bizarre stories, cross-connections and mental leaps, which have long since become the trademark of his highly entertaining performances. “What is Hannibal doing with his remaining vacation?”

10.10.2024 Jens Düppe Quartet at 20.00 at the Jazzclub im Leeren Beutel

“It is highly inspiring for me to write music for this quartet line-up, to imagine the music in my head, knowing about the dreamlike combination of Anderson and Moore and the endless melodic possibilities; to come up with formal structures in order to navigate them anew every evening with a master like Formanek. It will be groovy, it will be free, graceful and wild, all at the same time, it will be a feast.” Joe Hertenstein

In the “Lyrik ist nicht schwyrik” series, the German scholar and journalist Christian Muggenthaler and the audience will explore approaches to poets and their poems in a relaxed atmosphere.

16-18.10.2024 No to money at 19:30 in the Turmtheater
It promises to be a nice evening with Richard and his wife Claire. The new parents have invited Richard’s mother Rose and Richard’s best friend Etienne to dinner.

17-19.10.2024 Sia Korthaus: “Wilder Wechsel” at 7.30 pm at the STATT-THEATER cabaret stage
The menopause is called the menopause because the hormones change temperature, fullness and mood for years.
But Sia Korthaus’ new program is not just about this topic.

Sia Korthaus makes us change our perspective more often. A rollercoaster of emotions: funny, thought-provoking, profound, entertaining, worthwhile and definitely varied.

18-19.10.2024 KNEF. A (song) evening about Hilde at 19.00 at the Akademietheater
Für mich soll’s rote Rosen regnen or Ich hab noch einen Koffer in Berlin – almost everyone can sing along to Hildegard Knef’s songs.
Despite her fame, she did not have an easy life. She was friends with Marlene Dietrich, Romy Schneider and Marilyn Monroe.
In Germany she was often controversial, she was loved and hated, in America she was the first German Broadway star. Hildegard Knef’s path and life were often rocky, and she had to fight hard and with great ambition for many things. She was one of the few international stars Germany ever had. Hiddenly admired and blatantly rejected. The woman with the unmistakable image: the deep, smoky, wicked tenor voice whose melodies all men could sing along to in the same octave.
As many highs as her career had, it had just as many lows. Hildegard Knef remained a driven woman throughout her life.
Meike Fabian reads texts about the eventful life of the last German diva and interprets well-known but also unknown songs by the great artist, accompanied by Ulli Forster and band.

19.10.2024 Ensemble “…sed vivam!”– “Ein Meidlein tet mir klagen” – Katzenjammer in der Musik der Renaissance at 7 p.m. in the Runtingersaal
Lamentation has always been a subject that appealed to composers. In Elizabethan England, indulgent suffering was so fashionable that the era was also known as “The Age of Melancholy”.
They were particularly good at moaning and complaining about matters of the heart. However, when describing the various relationship problems, the tone could also be a little coarser or even raunchy.
In the role of Dürer’s Melencolia, culture prize winner Eva Sixt will make sure that no one has reason to complain – even if her pointed comments will bring tears to the eyes of many a whiner.

19.10.2024 Poison. A marriage story at 7.30 pm in the Turmtheater Regensburg

As the soil in the cemetery is poisoned, the child is to be reburied. Now they are waiting for the cemetery administration, but soon they suspect that no one will come.
Instead, we get to know a pair of parents who have not been a couple for a long time. The fumbling conversation between the estranged couple is painful, at times violent but also comforting, and it develops into an attempt to bridge a deep gulf.

20.10.2024 Red Dons – The Wulffs at 18.00 Cultural Center Alte Mälzerei
The Wipers of the 21st century? Maybe. In any case, RED DONS from Portland (Oregon) are one of the best things punk has produced in the last two decades. Their sound mixes great dark punk with post-punk and garage elements. Despite the melancholy nuances, there is always enough room for pop edges and lively, gripping melodies that are instantly catchy. Hit after hit! The support act will be THE WULFFS, who are back live after an eight-year break.

20.10.2024 Improtheater Chamäleon: “Elternzeit” at 7.30 pm at the STATT-THEATER Kleinkunstbühne

But. From. Now. Will. It. EVEN. Worse…AH!!!! In this show, the chameleons face up to being a parent and child.
Do we now say “grandma and grandpa” to our own parents so as not to confuse the little ones? The Chameleons present: the first relationship of life!

20.10.2024 Sebastian 23 at 20:00 in the Alte Mälzerei cultural center

Reason enough for SEBASTIAN 23, award-winning author, comedian and incorrigible optimist, to take a closer look at the end of the world in his new program. In his usual skillful way, he plays with language, gets to the heart of the zeitgeist and drills for metaphors until it crackles. And he may even reveal how everything can turn out well. “Magnificent word acrobat and sharp-tongued thinker” (Die Zeit)

20.10.2024 Yankee Meier Organ Trio at 20.00 at the Jazzclub im Leeren Beutel

23.10.2024 Folsom Prison Band – “Homage to Cash & Countrymusic” at 20:00 in the Alte Mälzerei cultural center
The Folsom Prison Band remembers the legendary Johnny Cash and continues what Cash once created. A tribute in honor of the king of country music with hits and rarities, ranging from early material to the late American Recordings. But there is more to this program: built around the songs of JR Cash, which take up almost half of the varied program, there is also material from his companions and those who influenced the “King of Country”: Willie Nelson is just as much a part of the program as Hank Williams, Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly.

25-26.10.2024 La vie en rose Chanson evening with songs by Édith Piaf at 19:00 in the Akademietheater
Édith Piaf’s songs are among the most famous in the world.
She became a megastar with La vie en rose, Milord, Padam padam, Non, je ne regrette rien and Hymne à l’amour. Until her early death at the age of 47, love remained her main theme – in her chansons and in life. Her first record was released in 1935. When Piaf sings, she lives, she conjures, she searches – melancholy, desperate, defiant. With her powerful, expressive and passionate voice, she became the epitome of French chanson and was admired worldwide. “A chanson is nothing small or insignificant. It contains all pain and suffering, but also all earthly joys and all hope,” she said in an interview. For Piaf, the quality of a good chanson is first and foremost the poetry, then the music. It should be simple, popular and not vulgar. And a simple story, not complicated – a reflection on life. She penned several texts, for example La vie en rose (1946), one of her most famous and most covered songs.

26.10.2024 Besamim Quartet at 7.00 pm Natural History Museum of Eastern Bavaria
