Lesen für Bier mit David Hufnagel

Please register for this event through our reservation system. Admission is €7 with a text and €8 without a text.

Two people will read aloud whatever the audience brings: Goethe, shopping lists, instruction manuals, or poems you’ve written yourselves.

Whatever you’d like to hear, bring it along and we’ll read it.

After each reading, you’ll decide by applause which you liked better: the text or the performance. If the artist read it better, he or she wins a beer; if the text is simply too good, the beer goes to the audience member who brought it.

Here are the rules again:

All types of texts are allowed, including original works (exceptions: racist, sexist, and homophobic texts have no place in the clubhouse)
The texts will be read alternately against David and a guest.
Text length doesn’t matter; for long texts, excerpts will be read.
You’re also allowed to add your own flair to the reading—read hysterically! Read quietly! Read backward! Be creative.
If you want, you can bookmark your favorite part of the text.

Basically, the rule is: The longer the evening, the more beer!

Host: David Hufnagel

David is from Augsburg, lives in Munich, and is often mistaken for someone from Franconia. But he only completed his training as a beer connoisseur there. Will that help him with “Reading for Beer”? We’ll see. In any case, he loves to talk—and he talks a lot. Ever since he’s no longer allowed to do that on the radio, his voice has been totally underutilized. So a reading event will have to serve as an outlet. With beer. It’s supposed to be fun, after all.

The idea for “Reading for Beer” came from author Lucas Fassnacht.
