Homo idioticus reappears, with Niavarani leading the charge.

In the year 2025, the comic genius, Michael Niavarani, is making a comeback with "Homo Idioticus 2.0". On May 5th at the Simpl, he'll begin his solo cabaret run under the slogan "The Fool is Back."

Michael Niavarani, a reputable figure in Austrian cabaret, never fails to sell out shows. He juggles his roles as host at the Globe, Simpl, Theater im Park, and the ORF rate show "Was gibt es Neues?". After a long hiatus, "Nia" emerges once more to recreate his idiosyncratic brand of humor. Under the motto "The Fool is Back", he's revitalizing "Homo Idioticus" – a program that originally captivated audiences in 2014.

  • Cult: Hader and Dorfer return with "India"
  • Gernot Kulis maintains laughter with fresh jokes
  • A complete transformation is in store for "Dancing Stars' Dr. Bohl"
  • Ambros, Niavarani, and others rock the park
  • "Life is a vacation from death" – Marco Wanda offers an autobiography!

"Homo Idioticus 2.0" serves as the evening's title, inspired by the initial program from 2014. In this revamped version, Michael Niavarani takes a fresh look at society's foibles and absurdities, offering comedic reflection on the choices people make and the state of contemporary life.

Asking questions like "Why is the right progressive and the left conservative?", "Why do some want '500 genders' and others 'Home to the Reich'?", and "Aren't there really too many foreigners everywhere, especially abroad?", Niavarani uses his unique perspective to satirize modern society while maintaining a sharp yet playful edge.

After a multiple-year break from the cabaret scene, Michael Niavarani is back in the spotlight as a solo cabaret artist. "Homo Idioticus 2.0" promises to be an evening of laughter and thought-provoking commentary, tailor-made for these trying times. To feel his natural absurdity and critiques of our hyper-connected world, catch him live at the Simpl on May 5th, or at Theater im Park starting May 20th.
