Bo Burnham was a teenager living in his parents' attic in Massachusetts when he started posting funny songs to YouTube that immediately turned heads with their wise satire that belied his very young age. He quickly struck a chord. Over 16 million people watched his videos and he soon amassed a gigantic (and young) online following that excitedly awaited each new video. Soon after that, Bo became revered in all comedy circles for being a wholly original, highly intelligent young voice.

Im April 1998 trat Robert Gernhardt auf die Bühne des Bonner Pantheons und präsentierte - sich selbst. Das erheiterte Publikum lernte seine 13 Gesichter kennen, etwa den gottgesandten Propheten, den anspruchsvollen Märchenonkel oder den weit blickenden Kulturkorrespondenten. Mustermann Gernhardt erzählte auch von Italien: Sie sind ein heiteres Volk, diese Italiener. Dolce far niente, heißt ihre Devise. Der Duce tut nichts... Aber hören Sie selbst und lernen Sie Gernhardt so richtig kennen!

Christoph Sieber gelingt mit seinen bitterbösen Texten eine gnadenlose Sicht auf unsere Zeit. Warum werden die, denen wir unsere Kinder anvertrauen schlechter bezahlt als die, denen wir unser Geld anvertrauen? Und wie konnte es kommen, dass wir Konsumenten sind, User, Zuschauer, Deutsche, aber immer weniger Mensch? Doch Sieber wäre nicht Sieber, gäbe es nicht auch immer die schelmische, urkomische, und komödiantische Seite, die uns lachen lässt über unser Dasein und so ein eindrucksvolles und begeisterndes Kabarettvergnügen schafft.

Die drei Mitbegründer der Satirezeitschriften Pardon und Titanic und Autoren zahlreicher deutscher Komödien, darunter die Otto- und 7-Zwerge- Filme, zeigen uns ein Licht am Ende des Bildungstunnels.
