Bavarian Cabaret Prize for Mittermeier and Young Talents - Michael Mittermeier wins top prize at Bavarian Cabaret Awards 2024
The Bavarian Cabaret Awards has announced this year's winners, with Michael Mittermeier taking the main prize. His groundbreaking show Zapped! will be honoured at the ceremony in Munich. Other notable names, including rising star Rebecca Pap, will also receive recognition for their contributions to comedy and cabaret.
The event will be held on November 9, followed by a broadcast on BR Television three days later.
Michael Mittermeier's influence on German comedy stretches back decades. His 1990s show Zapped! helped redefine cabaret, blending high-energy humour with deeper themes. Known for his razor-sharp timing, expressive face, and physical comedy, he continues to shape the scene.
Beyond performing, Mittermeier founded the **Lucky Punch Comedy Club** in 1999. What began as a Munich-based stage for stand-up evolved into a long-running TV series, featuring themed challenges and new talent. The club now operates in both Munich and Vienna, nurturing emerging comedians. The awards will also celebrate other artists. Rebecca Pap has been named this year's rising star. Aurel Mertz will collect the Creator Prize, while Tina Teubner takes home the music award. Each winner has played a distinct role in advancing Bavarian and German cabaret.
The ceremony on November 9 will highlight the achievements of both established and up-and-coming performers. Viewers can watch the event on BR Television starting November 12. The awards underscore the ongoing evolution of comedy and cabaret in Bavaria.
