Ingo Appelt has been one of the defining voices of German comedy for decades. Whether on stage, on television or on the radio - the native of Essen knows how to provoke, polarize and always hit the nerve of the times. As a former member of the "heute-show", bestselling author and multi-award-winning cabaret artist, he has earned himself a permanent place in the German entertainment Olympus. His trademark: a big mouth, clever punchlines and the ability to expose social absurdities with a sharp eye.

With his current program "MÄNNER NERVEN STARK", Ingo Appelt is touring Germany again - with two and a half hours of comedy fireworks in his luggage, hitting everything that doesn't get to safety in time. In familiar Appelt style, he says what others don't even dare to think.

In a world full of faux pas and sensitivities, Appelt throws all taboos overboard. He dances on the fine line of the waistline - and does so with full intent. In "MÄNNER NERVEN STARK", Ingo dissects the way we live together in a way that is both wonderful and pointed like no other. Nothing is safe from him - from communication between the sexes to the little quirks and gripes that make life difficult for us. Because who is to blame for the misery? The men! In a world full of faux pas, Ingo lends them a helping hand. For women, for peace. He is the safe space of laughter, the last bastion against philistinism.

What happens at Appelt, stays at Appelt. People are allowed to laugh here - loudly, dirty, honestly. Ingo Appelt is not just a cabaret artist or comedian - he is a frontal attack on the dreariness of everyday life.

"The comedian rushes through his program like a force of nature and, as a tamer, has the audience in his grip, who bid him farewell from the stage [...] cheering and whistling with enthusiasm."
