Peter Panierer - Intro

INTRO2023, Peter Panierer won the Graz Small Arts Bird, in 2024 the Freistadt Freshman, and in 2025 the Enns Small Arts Potato. He is currently performing his first solo cabaret program. "INTRO is a program without subtitles. Unembellished, straightforward, without holding back. Why do we rejoice over smoking children? Why does someone leave the church twice? And why does this person call himself Peter Panierer? Perhaps for the same reasons he enjoys teaching in a bulletproof vest, prefers unemployed parents, and can find something appealing about sustainable shoplifting. An invitation into a world where absurdity sometimes lies closer to reality than we would like." "The ability to artistically elevate pressing issues of our society, to reassemble them, serve them delicately, and thereby master the high art of making fun of the problems without betraying those affected has won us over as a jury." (Final Jury Graz Small Arts Bird) "Peter Panierer is a jack of all trades. An extroverted chatterbox from Floridsdorf, whom you simply enjoy listening to. Go see him!" (Diana Köhle, Diary Slam) "Who is he, please?" (Influencer Dave) "His humor operates at the intersection of sly everyday observation and calculated cliché destruction. (…) That he is more of a storyteller than a provocateur is something you can't hold against him. On the contrary: You want to listen to him longer, especially because he masters this sensitive yet calm undertone that lurks behind the punchlines." (Sigrun Karre, KUMA - the Styrian Cultural Calendar)
