Der 223. Blaue Montag – Die wilde Mischung für Entdecker

In the organizer's words:

For the 223rd "Blue Monday" on April 7, 2025, cabaret artist and host Arnulf Rating will once again surprise his audience with a wild mix of comedians, acrobats, musicians, satirists, life artists, slam poets and similar eccentrics, both familiar and new discoveries. Since 1990, "Blue Monday" has been a showcase for talented types and original personalities, a fast-paced, beautiful and quirky show, accompanied by changing live bands.

At 8 pm, the curtain rises at the Die Wühlmäuse cabaret theater for danceable criticism of capitalism with cabaret veteran Andreas Rebers, the brute comedian C. Heiland, dry-as-dust comedy with magician André Hieronymus, the syllable and meaning seductress Mai Horlemann, the enchanting body artists monalaura, fresh from the car repair shop: Handstandartist Robert Best, political-literary cabaret with Tilman Lucke and multifunctional satirist Volker Surmann. Thewonderful singer Billy Crize and her band will provide the musical highlights. As usual, the whole thing will be presented by Arnulf Rating and spiced up with political satire.

Tickets are available from 33.50 euros at karten@wuehlmaeuse.de, by telephone on (030) 30 67 30 11 or online (plus any additional costs).

Blue Monday

Der Blaue Montag began in 1989/1990 in the former Quartier Latin (now the Wintergarten), which members of the music group BAP and the 3 Tornados (Arnulf Rating, Holger Klotzbach, Günter Thews) had taken over and converted into a variety show, with the advertisement "We are looking for arty farts or people who can make others laugh for 5 minutes". Launched as a renewal of the then somewhat dusty variety theater, Der Blaue Montag became a playground, development laboratory and reflection of Berlin's wild, extravagant cabaret scene. It brings together characters, life artists, originals from the urban jungle who - each for a few minutes - have the opportunity to inspire, provoke and take your breath away.
