Katja Berlin "Torten der Wahrheit"

In the organizer's words:

The successful author and columnist Katja Berlin is known as the woman of satirical graphics. Last year saw the publication of the book "Wofür Frauen sich rechtfertigen müssen", a best-of work from her long-running ZEIT column "Torten der Wahrheit".

Katja Berlin now also addresses the critical issues of our time live on stage. A selection of her best humorous graphics with topics such as digitalization, climate protection, equality or progress in Germany serves as the basis for what is probably the funniest political retrospective since there have been crises.

Her first book "Was wir tun, wenn der Aufzug nicht kommt" sold over 300,000 copies. This was followed by 15 more books, including several bestsellers. At the same time, Katja Berlin wrote columns for the Handelsblatt Magazin and the Berliner Zeitung and worked as a podcaster. For nine years, she has been commenting on politics and society in her weekly ZEIT column "Torten der Wahrheit" (Cakes of Truth) and shows how humor can work in times of crisis with her satirical infographics. In 2023, this resulted in the book "Wofür Frauen sich rechtfertigen müssen". In 2024, she also published her latest work "Was Rechtspopulisten fordern".

On Friday, 21.11.2025, Katja Berlin will make a guest appearance at 19:30 in the Kongresshalle Gießen. Tickets are available from € 38.30 at www.stagecat.de and at all advance booking offices.
