Rainer Pause & Norbert Alich - Fritz und Hermann packen aus · Das Weihnachtsspezial

In the organizer's words:

There they are again, our two club philosophers Fritz and Hermann, like ox and donkey at the manger. Because every year, right in the middle, exactly between 11/11 and Ash Wednesday, right in the middle of the most beautiful time of the year, Christmas pushes itself mercilessly. And immediately afterwards, the turn of the year. Time for parcels and interim balance sheets. And Fritz and Hermann make the most of it, as they do every year. They follow a thousand wishes, regardless of the dangers they may expose themselves to in times of war and heating terror - you never know what surprise is inside the parcels! Cluster bombs? Bribe money? A heat protection plan? A new cabinet? - And unpack whatever we receive! Parcel by parcel. Packages with songs, ideas and prejudices. Popular, bad, old and new and of course, as always, answers to questions that no one has actually asked.

The press describes them as the "revenants of Pat and Patachon" (Frankfurter Rundschau), as the "Rhenish answer to Gerhard Polt" (Rheinische Post), Viola Roggenkamp wisely predicted 30 years ago in the ZEIT: "Nobody has more to say in the current "Sitewation" in this country than the cabaret artists Rainer Pause and Norbert Alich"!
