Tricky Niki

Sometimes people achieve great things. At the birth of entertainer Tricky Niki, this goal was missed by just a few centimeters. Nevertheless, everyone can laugh about it today: in his new show "Delusions of Grandeur."

When, if not now, is the perfect time for small wonders and big laughs? For instance, when the multi-talented Tricky Niki ponders whether an erotic GPS will ultimately lead the male ego into a dead end. Or when he performs the greatest card trick in the world. Even when he appears "big-headed" in a hypnotic way, he is constantly searching for the modest 10 centimeters that he lacks. In "Delusions of Grandeur," the great little artist ironically confronts his absent growth spurt, the megalomaniacal excesses of today, and the most significant questions of humanity.

Joining him are Tricky Niki's entertaining sidekicks: a frivolous dragon named Emil, who wants to live large, is just missing his right hand. A dazed Justin Bieber wants to make Niki a big star. By the time sloth Diego appears, it becomes clear that no one will leave this show with dry eyes if it continues at this pace. And monkey Luigi will definitely knock everyone off their feet in the end. The only question left is who is pulling whose leg.

With his unique mix of ventriloquism at the highest level, great magic, and insane punchlines, Tricky Niki takes entertainment to a new level. Every gag lands perfectly—and the audience is still at eye level even while sitting. It would be presumptuous to claim that "Delusions of Grandeur" is the biggest show in the universe and all surrounding galaxies. However, it certainly doesn’t lack more than 10 centimeters. Because while Tricky Niki is neither tall nor well-behaved, he is always magnificent.
