The new Heinz Erhardt Revue

• Other

The new Heinz Erhardt Revue takes the audience into the fascinating universe of one of Germany’s greatest humourists. With the best mischievous wit and masterful word acrobatics; with a mixture of the most famous poems, songs and humorous sketches, the show celebrates the legacy of a man who is considered a master of comedy not only in Germany, but also beyond its borders.



Patrick L. Schmitz, himself a lifelong admirer of Erhardt, slips into the role of the great comedian with dedication. Together with the ensemble, consisting of the multi-faceted Aline Joers, the versatile Gerald Ließ and the »eminent keyboard virtuoso« Franz Tröger, he turns the stage into the epicentre of humour. The ensemble has set itself the task of reproducing Erhardt’s inimitable timing, his wit and his beloved slips of the tongue with respect and a fresh breeze.

The revue is not only a collection of Erhardt’s greatest works, but also an impressive display of artistic talent that will have the audience in stitches with laughter. Classics such as »Das Naschhorn«, »Die Made« and the often quoted puns are performed with an ease reminiscent of Erhardt’s signature performances.

The resemblance of Patrick L. Schmitz to Heinz Erhardt, both in his appearance and in his performance, is astounding and was even received with enthusiasm by Erhardt’s family. The revue is therefore not simply a tribute, but acts as a window back to the time when Heinz Erhardt himself conquered the stages of Germany.

An event that celebrates the German language, pokes fun at it in a charming way and illuminates its bizarre facets, the new »Heinz Erhardt Revue« is an unmissable cultural event. Visitors can expect an unforgettable evening full of laughter and nostalgic moments in which the memory of one of the true greats of comedy is kept alive.
