Unveiling the Spectacle of Insanity: A Deep Dive into Lunacy

Erding's Stand-Up Sensation: "Who We Become"

Erwin Pelzig's fresh comedy act "Who we become" leaves audiences at Jakobmayer spellbound.

"He resonates with me," Geri Huber from Baierbach shared after the performance. Frank-Markus Barwasser's clever humor and insightful commentary has audience members pondering yet feeling uplifted - just the antidote for an era where heavy headlines plague the morning news.

Orange Horns and Social Media Influencers

Pelzig kicks off his new show by declaring, "I didn't want to hitch a ride on the apocalypse, but I still can't help getting riled up about that orange honk from Florida's Obersalzberg." He's equally critical of Instagram influencers, who collect likes and wealth with meaningless phrases like "Hello, my loves" or "At the end of the day," often revealing the emptiness of their own existences on sunny beaches in Dubai.

His agile wordplay effortlessly transitions from politics to everyday topics, creating a dynamic program that keeps the audience captivated, without missing a beat. Despite donning the costume of the simple Franken, Pelzig's cabaret has always relied on meticulous research and philosophical evaluations, making it a notch above the ordinary.

Though Livia, the stoic therapist, occasionally interjects as a voice from off-stage, her jokes are flat, falling short of the lofty level Pelzig consistently maintains.

A Mirror to the Snowflakes and the Boomers

Pelzig takes aim at the sensitive snowflake generation, often criticized for their oversensitivity, from the perspective of the boomer generation. His cold, unblinking appraisal leaves the audience hushed - and the generation in question nodding in agreement. "That was a program highlight," Peter Bleistein from Ebersberg commented.

Warning against Financial Terrorists

Pelzig warns against financially-motivated extremists like Peter Thiel, laments farmers who fight for cheap diesel but not against the more dangerous threat of species extinction, admires the charm of gabions, pokes fun at energy-saving mental route signs, and dares to call for protest. "This show zips along with genius," Geri Huber enthuses, joining the legion of applauding spectators.

Pelzig declares, "I don't want to regurgitate the usual cabaret chatter; I'm a small gray pebble on the path of the past." But Erwin Pelzig's cabaret is anything but small—it's powerful and eye-opening. Let us hope we learn to become a little more like he advocates: a little more resilient.
