Sebastian 23

The New Show by Sebastian 23

These days, anyone who greets someone with “Hello” is already considered a naive smooth-talker and a utopian dreamer. Many have forgotten that a conversation can actually be even more rewarding than berating complete strangers online. So why not take the risk of talking to people who have a different opinion than we do? Maybe we’ll learn something and make progress together. Otherwise, we’ll just go home and insult each other online.

Sebastian 23 says far more than just “Hello.” The comedian, poetry slammer, activist, and bestselling author presents *Zusammenhaltestelle*, his tenth solo show. 
And since I’m a promotional text, I’ll say it outright: Sebastian 23 quite rightly won the German Cabaret Award in early 2025, has performed on thousands of stages—and hundreds of thousands follow him for his daily satirical posts on social media.

However, *Zusammenhaltestelle* is more than just a cabaret show—it’s a plea for optimism, empathy, and the courage to break new ground together. That sounds like pathos that desperately needs to be defused with irony. Or is that just a rhetorical trick? Let’s find out together!

The book of the same name, *Zusammenhaltestelle*, will be published in March 2026 by bene-Verlag.
