After the celebrated premiere in autumn 2024 and numerous sold-out shows, the show will continue seamlessly in 2026. In his live show, Zeigler combines humour, archive gems, curiosities and personal anecdotes to create a very special evening of football - just as we know it from his TV show "Zeigler's Wonderful World of Football". "Always luck is skill" - the title says it all. Because after more than 270 live shows, we can all be sure: It's not just luck, there's also a lot of skill involved. No one else tells football stories and fan culture in this way - approachable, quirky, affectionate and always with attitude. Zeigler takes his audience on a journey through the highs, lows and bizarre aspects of the most beautiful game in the world.

"Perhaps you don't even have to be a football aficionado to find these two hours highly comical and highly entertaining," wrote the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper about the evening.

The live show is a tribute to football as we love it - with all its rough edges, outbursts and magical moments. And in the end, the realisation remains: "Football holds us together in an invisible way."

switch on the big light

It is the portafilter machine among the programmes: Pressure, steam, shine, flavour - it's all there! Plus the big questions of life, which are: How do I lead a good life? What comes next? What are the best six of the four great mathematical rules? Let's shed light on everything, following the tried and tested pattern: too silly for cabaret, but quite clever for comedy, a nice, arching evening, coffee, stories ... until I lose the thread and then we'll see.

I look forward to seeing you.

Yours, Torsten Sträter

When the sound of words was still an adventure, when fairy tales swam in the waters of parental admonitions, when the world still held secrets and all it took was patience to uncover them?

For years, Marcus Jeroch has been whisking his audience away into the world of language with wild gestures and unbridled enthusiasm. Unconventional juggling adds spice to the experience; idea after idea takes shape and brings a smile. The word breaks free from its everyday routine; the eye marvels along with it. As ever, this new programme will contain more gems than one can count.

A delight for heart and mind; words create closeness, and poetry becomes ‘PoeDu’.

Chin Meyer talks about money. And everything to do with it – the economy, tax, sustainability, the climate, migration, equal opportunities, relationships – in short: quite a lot to cover. But entertaining, of course. Because when it comes to money, that’s when the fun really begins. And with the fun comes relief and joy. Only when the audience leaves his show with a grin on their faces and a sense of inner spaciousness, can he have his own fun with money.

With great verve, Bridge Markland races through Kleist’s *The Broken Jug* and distils the classic into an entertaining pop-music court show.

The legal dispute over a broken jug being heard in court conceals another offence: an influential man has harassed a young woman. Will Eve dare to accuse the perpetrator and thereby exonerate her fiancé Ruprecht? For he faces military service in distant lands, whilst Hans Albers sings evocatively: ‘Near Rocktown he has long since lain in his grave / and flowers grow out of his bones’. The web of lies and the abuse of power become increasingly transparent as the show progresses. Will justice prevail in the end?

In rapid succession, the master of transformation plays – with and without hand-operated puppets – the village judge Adam, the clerk Licht, the court councillor Walter, the plaintiff Marthe Rull, her daughter Eve Rull and her fiancé Ruprecht, as well as the witness Mrs Brigitte.

The Cocomico musical "Conni - The Musical!" is going on tour!

It's Conni's birthday, and she's got lots of plans: Playing, romping, dancing, singing, baking the world's best chocolate cake "Conni-Super-Selber-Spezial!" with her friends, and cuddling with her teddy bear and her lovely cat Mau ... and then Conni is: finally grown up! Conni's parents and her little brother Jakob are at her side and are already very excited. On Conni's birthday, everything is sure to go smoothly and nothing stands in the way of a super birthday party. Or...?

There's never a dull moment for Conni, her family, her friends and all the young and old members of the audience in this musical birthday adventure. There's always something going on, and Conni has a lot of support from all her many audience members, from her friends on stage and in the audience, from mum and dad Klawitter, and also from her teddy bear and her beloved cat Mau!

True to the motto "What Conni can do - so can you!", the musical audience becomes part of the production and can help Conni and her friends to make Conni's musical birthday a complete success.

The result is a musical fun for young and old, to join in, laugh along and experience, with lots of great songs and plenty of charm! And the musical really gets the audience, young and old, moving!
