Bänz Friedli - Bänz Friedli Cleans Up

Description

With the awarding of the «Prix Cornichon» in May 2024 at the Oltner Kabarett-Tagen, he received the highest honor in Swiss humor. Since January 2025, he has been showcasing his new program: «Bänz Friedli Cleans Up», sometimes thoughtful, sometimes hilariously funny. And always relevant! «It's hard to believe, but Bänz Friedli is actually getting better and better,» wrote Manfred Papst in the «NZZ am Sonntag». With elements of stand-up, satire, and reading, Friedli has shaped his own unique style: narrative cabaret, radically political and radically personal. In his sixth solo program, the dialect virtuoso and caricaturist displays his full range: he uncovers surprising finds from his own childhood, tries to make sense of the present in a dialogue with his grandmother and a future granddaughter, and looks into the future: how can we maintain hope in dark times? Together with director Alexander Götz, Friedli has developed a theater evening that departs from conventional comedy schemes and allows the audience to free themselves from everyday worries by laughing at them. «When it comes to satire and cabaret, he is simply 'the Master',» judged comedian Jane Mumford about Friedli, and for veteran Emil, it is clear: «In Switzerland, Bänz is simply the best!» Source: thurgaukultur.ch - the cultural portal for Thurgau, with dates, topics & people worth talking about.
