As nimble as a weasel, as excited as a hen, as shy as a hare: Frieda Braun has many faces. Her stories are teeming with creaky characters that could have sprung from the Miss Marple films with Margaret Rutherford.

Eleven quirky women make up Frieda's legendary "splinter group". After just a short time, you feel like you know them personally - as well as the male protagonists, such as the hypochondriac Bruno or Wilbrecht, the senior bachelor.

Carola's experience with dental corrections, Mia's excursion into the world of erotic films, a mustard fiasco at the sausage stand and a big fluff attack: with "Auf ganzer Linie", Frieda Braun has once again succeeded in creating a full-length program that provides laughs by the minute.

Eloquent and subtle, Frieda Braun creates ludicrous interweavings of the most diverse topics: Beguiling Loreley songs, Asian managers, the down-to-earth world of local DIY stores - and in the middle of it all, Bruno with his new ceiling lamp "Octopus"- does it all fit into one story? Yes, it does. Welcome to Frieda's world!

Clever wordplay instead of ready-made jokes

"The couple have been damaged together for years." It's sentences like this that send Frieda Braun's audience into raptures. Her stories and clever puns are always the product of her own creative mind.

The Belgian pantomime, clown and cabaret artist Joseph Collard (Cirque du Soleil, Les Founambules) has been her congenial partner for years, especially when it comes to visual realization. Her language, facial expressions and gestures have made Frieda Braun not only unmistakable, but also one of the most successful stage characters in Germany.

"Sauerland woman with Oscar-worthy facial expressions (...). This is cabaret of the highest order. And: also suitable for men."

- Generalanzeiger Bonn

"The fact is: there is rarely so much to laugh about. What Frieda Braun (Karin Berkenkopf) demanded from the famous laughing muscles of the 800 or so spectators on Sunday evening at the Wetzlar Festival almost bordered on bodily harm (fun)."
