Ralph Ruthe: "Shit Happens! The (New) Show"
Germany’s most successful cartoonist is finally back on stage! A cartoonist on stage… What on earth is he doing there? Exactly what any good comedian does: making people laugh! In his new show, he uniquely combines humorous illustrations, animated films, readings and music to create a live cartoon comedy show – or a live comedy cartoon show. He showcases only the very best from his world of humour and characters, along with plenty of new material – ranging from small observations of everyday life to major political issues. There will be world premieres of brand-new episodes from Ruthe’s hit series "Flossen", "HNO-WG", "Biber und Baum" and the "Ad Parodies". Ruthe consistently manages to capture the madness of everyday life in a single image (or video) in a way that’s incisive, intelligent and hilariously funny. No other cartoonist has been publishing such a high volume of new material for such a long time. This is also reflected in the sales figures for his bestselling books. Millions of commuters are also familiar with his cartoons from underground screens and from television (appearances on "Sträter" on ARD and "TV TOTAL" on Pro7). Around four million fans have been following him on his social media channels for years. You simply can’t ignore Ralph Ruthe, and anyone who’d like to see him live will finally have the chance again from autumn 2025… and with a little patience, there’s something very special in store: everyone (!) who joins the queue will receive a signed drawing created personally by Ruthe.
