Peter Panierer - Intro

In 2023, 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 finds something to appreciate in sustainable shoplifting. An invitation into a world where absurdity sometimes lies closer to reality than we would like." "The artful lifting of burning issues of our society, reassembling them, delicately serving them, and thereby mastering the high art of making fun of the problems without betraying those affected has captivated us as a jury." (Final Jury Graz Small Arts Bird) "Peter Panierer is a jack of all trades. An extroverted whiner from Floridsdorf, who is simply enjoyable to listen 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 collector of stories than a provocateur is something one cannot hold against him. On the contrary: One wants to listen to him longer, especially because he masters that sensitive yet calm undertone that lurks behind the punchlines." (Sigrun Karre, KUMA - the Styrian Cultural Calendar)
