Tilman Birr – "Birr Royal"

In the organizer's words:

A piano, a man in a black suit and the world. That's all it takes for a royal evening. Tilman Birr has been compared with Rainald Grebe, Bodo Wartke and Bo Burnham, and it has been established: The differences outweigh the differences. He looks at this country and its people and thinks to himself: the others are us. Angry people on social media, drunken male outings on the regional express, and remoulade everywhere - it's all pretty appalling. It's better to have a Tilman Birr in the house to digest it for you and then leave it smelling good. Otherwise you'd end up taking the world seriously and nobody wants that. Tilman Birr plays stage shows, writes books and songs and is one half of the acoustic cover rock duo "Welthits auf Hessisch". His comic episodic novel "On se left you see se Siegessäule" has sold 40,000 copies. Most recently, he published the novel "Wie sind Sie hier reingekommen?" about Berlin in the 2000s and the artist of the century Vicco von Bülow.
