Stephan Bauer

Women need men and vice versa! It's actually a truism. But when the woman is mowing the lawn and the man is accompanying her with a sun umbrella, something is not quite right. Despite all gender equality, the modern woman longs for positive masculinity. But not the primitive macho behavior of "can you cool my beer with your cold feet," but with male clarity, determination, and decisiveness. Today, men stand in front of the bathroom mirror in the morning thinking: "Underwear on the right way - daily goal achieved."

The dilemma: without masculinity and femininity, there is no sexual attraction. And so everyone accepts that alongside the espresso machine, the dildo is now part of a well-equipped household, while men engage more with pornography than with their wives. According to the motto: "Get your appetite whetted elsewhere, starve at home." How times have changed. In the past, we had no sex before marriage; today, we have no sex in marriage. Can we turn back the clock? How do we achieve more togetherness? Do I need a helmet for that?

So much has become confused in our days, not a stone is left standing on another. People used to be smart and phones were dumb; today, it’s the other way around. One thinks: "Lord, let brains fall from heaven. Or stones. As long as you hit something."

Stephan Bauer's new program is a ray of hope. The absurd rescue from false gender ideals, exaggerated notions of happiness, and the loss of orientation that modernity brings along.

A microphone, a bar stool, and two hours of punchlines one after the other. And for the audience, two hours of laughter without a break.

"The young cabaret artist can now rightly be mentioned in the same breath as greats like Mittermeier or Hader" (Südd. Zeitung)

"High-caliber cabaret" (Münchener Merkur)

"Bauer goes all out, is tasteless and irreverent, depraved and sometimes even unappetizing - and that is precisely his strength." (Stuttgarter Zeitung)

"A perfect blend of cabaret and comedy that has rarely been seen before. Simply genius." (Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung)
