Reiner Kröhnert

Stephen KING's ES may have been defeated, but don't worry: the successor is already here and bears the illustrious name Friedrich Merz. Who would have thought that the true "creepy creature" of our time
is a 1.98 meter tall Teuton.

Reiner Kröhnert, the master of biting parody, brings this very Friedrich Merz to the stage. With his very own "Merz-worthy" style, he shows us that political cabaret is not dead after all.

Whether he is caricaturing Donald Trump, Angela Merkel, Robert Habeck or even tennis legend Boris Becker - Kröhnert spares no celebrity. It's this subtle cruelty that almost hurts to laugh at, but that's exactly why it hits the spot.

And now the shock news:
His new program "ER - Jetzt wird's MERZwürdig!" is not just about a bit of satire. No, Kröhnert lets it rip so that even the most stable government constructs start to totter.
Kröhnert's 1.98 meters and Merz's 1.98 meters - only one question remains unanswered: Has Merz perhaps copied Kröhnert's delusions of grandeur? You could be forgiven for thinking it was the double Friedrich, Kröhnert imitates the slick political language of our "favorite chancellor" so perfectly.

And that's not all: on October 4, 2025, Reiner Kröhnert will be awarded the "BERLIN CABARET PRIZE - THE EDDI" for his services to the "Merzwürdige" entertainment culture.

Curtain up for Reiner Kröhnert's spicy celebrity panopticon!

HE knows: "Laughter is hope's last weapon". And rest assured: the laughter is guaranteed to get stuck in your throat with this program.
