Markus Hauptmann & Udo Huber - Play and Rec

The 80s – a decade that gifted us unforgettable music, vibrant fashion, and hairstyles reminiscent of architectural projects. And right in the middle of it all was the unforgettable voice of Udo Huber, Mr. Hit Parade himself. While he provided the nation with the latest chart hits, a young Markus Hauptmann sat somewhere in a children's room, armed with a stereo cassette recorder and the dream of creating the perfect mixtape – until Huber once again interrupted right in the middle of the chorus.

Forty years later, fate has struck: Mr. Hit Parade and the mixtape tormented make peace – and come together! Together, they bring the colorful 80s back to the stage in their comedy program. With them: a wealth of memories, absurd stories, and the question of how one even survived back then without mobile phones and streaming services. And who actually shot J.R.?

Udo Huber shares the glamorous sides of the decade, from backstage hustle to quirky encounters with stars, while Markus Hauptmann, self-proclaimed "child of the cassette," humorously dissects the joys and struggles of 80s everyday life. Whether it’s about Walkman batteries under constant stress, questionable fashion choices, or the epic drama of tangled cassette tapes – laughter is guaranteed.

This program is a must for anyone who experienced the 80s and for those who finally want to know what made it so special. "Play and Rec." is not just an evening full of nostalgia, but also an opportunity to heartily laugh about the absurdities of this iconic decade.
