Reinhard Nowak - Original Cheerful - Premiere

Reinhard Nowak has decided to be only truly cheerful from now on. Why? Because he has realized that he has arrived in the last third of his life, whether he likes it or not – and he no longer wants to spend the remaining time merely grumpy on the stage of life. Because it doesn’t help at all to be in a bad mood about everything and everyone – and because every failure tastes happier when you go through life with a smile.

Maybe his long-standing marriage will run more smoothly if he is truly cheerful. Perhaps one can endure the current messed-up state of the world better when watching the news with a cheerful attitude. Maybe he will even appreciate the red numbers in his bank account more when he reads his bank statement with a smile. Perhaps he feels better when he cheerfully looks at some of his body parts that are just hanging around. Maybe he finds fat-free food simply more delicious when he chews it cheerfully. And maybe a colonoscopy is more enjoyable when he is in a cheerful mood.

Why being truly cheerful might be the right way into the last third of life.

A cabaret program about the surprising realization that cheerfulness is sometimes the smarter choice.

“TRULY CHEERFUL” is a program for everyone who would rather laugh about Reinhard Nowak's problems than their own – because he suffers everything on our behalf – every hassle – all cheerfully.

Experience it live – and guaranteed to be truly cheerful.

Starting in spring 2026.
