Helmut Schleich Live 2026

A new program?

Helmut Schleich – Live. That’s the promise, and it’s kept. Helmut Schleich does what he wants. No two evenings are alike. His role model is the government. And so he says to himself in the Silbersaal: Why should I care about what I said yesterday? After all, we live in a time when reality surpasses cabaret day after day.

“Overtaking without catching up” was what they used to call it in socialism. Back then, Russia built the world’s largest hydrogen bomb. The so-called Tsar Bomb. It was so big that no delivery system was capable of transporting it. Now that’s a peace initiative. The Americans were taken by surprise. They hadn’t expected such unacceptable pacifism from the “Evil Empire.”

Good cabaret and politics do have something in common: both want to surprise people. Cabaret must be like the Tsar Bomb of old. Explosive and unbearable. The result is an extremely entertaining evening that does not lack attitude. The motto is: “I’m not serious!” Helmut Schleich borrowed this from the chancellor.
