Wilfried Schmickler - „Herr Schmickler bitte!“

In the organizer's words:

In his new program he says: "Mr. Schmickler please!", and he is happy to answer this call: with his mixture of spoken word, lyrical poems and expressive singing, he continues to outrage about social grievances and injustices in this world.

WILFRIED SCHMICKLER wants to entertain seriously, grumble in a good-humored way, cheer up for the whole evening, with cascades of text, tirades of abuse and mocking songs.

With his call for more tolerance and compassion, he will continue to make a contribution to "making the world a better place"!

WILFRIED SCHMICKLER has been awarded the 4 most important cabaret prizes: PRIX PANTHEON, DEUTSCHER KABARETTPREIS, DEUTSCHER

KLEINKUNSTPREIS and SALZBURGER STIER! He was on the WDR-Mitternachtsspitzen ("Aufhören Herr Becker") for almost 30 years and every Monday at just before 11 a.m. he asks the "Monday Question" on WDR 2.

Press reviews:

"it is in the quieter moments that Wilfried Schmickler truly shines. Those in which he delivers polished sentences with outstanding precision, in which he is sharp and poetic at the same time. When he tells stories with satirical wit or, beyond his beloved stringing together of catchphrases, packs social criticism into verses of exquisite elegance, the full radiance of a cabaret artist is revealed" (Bonner Generalanzeiger)

"Wilfried Schmickler has been in the premier league of political cabaret artists in the country for decades as a virtuoso wordsmith!" (LVZ Leipzig, performance at the Schauspielhaus 2016)

Schmickler is one of the best that cabaret has to offer. It's sharp and clever, highly topical and pretty nasty. This is how cabaret should be. (AZ Mainz)

" A tiger of language with drastic word power: Schmickler amazed with kindness, was frothy and quiet, subtle, cheeky and biting." (Aachener Zeitung)
