Whether spicy like chili, or rather sweet like honey: the program of the St. Ingberter Pfanne promises four days of top-class variety entertainment – fresh and crisp!
On Saturday, September 3rd, the fun begins with Lara Ermer. The comedian rushes through the absurdities of everyday life with her show "Sugar Jokes and Whip" and takes the audience on an adventure of sharp wit and elegant humor.
It gets artistic afterwards when Benno & Max take the stage. Honored with international awards, they present breathtaking acrobatic comedy at the highest level in "Challenge Accepted".
The first pan evening concludes with a dessert of exceptional quality. The author and cabaret artist Thomas Reis serves satire par excellence. He offers "by far the best" that makes dark humor so deliciously wicked: dazzling, sharp-witted, biting.
As an hors d’oeuvre on Sunday, September 4th, music will be served. With her song evening "The Best Place in the World," singer and actress Melanie Haupt stages her tribute to the theater: delicate, thoughtful, wonderful.
With the stand-up comedian Hinnerk Köhn and his contribution “Bitter,” follows a “show like a Fernet Branca, but in the end, you are happy.”
To conclude the Sunday menu, the Huub Dutch Duo serves their lively and humorous music comedy with "Life is fine, when you're on Wäscheline." The two guys impressively prove in their musical classics and original songs that they are trained musicians.
Small art feasting continues on Tuesday, September 6th. Bene Reinisch serves up plenty of cabaret. In his program "Something with an Opinion," he profoundly and provocatively questions the current zeitgeist and critically and humorously torpedoes some behavioral patterns of our society.
Then, an aspiring opera singer, who is one of the best German-speaking poetry slammers, takes the stage. With Fee Brembeck, the St. Ingbert Pfanne presents an artist also known from TV, who gives "Feeminism" a magical meaning with "Explain it to me as if I were a woman."
The Tuesday finale will then be enhanced by Lucie Mackert and Peter Fischer in their “Harmoniedergang.” They are “Mackefisch,” musical virtuosos on piano and guitar and an equally virtuosic vocal duo. They target the emotional state of our society, and “Deutschlandfunk” commented that without the health restrictions, “the audience of the republic would probably have been lying at their feet laughing a long time ago.”
Musically, the last day of the Pfannenfestival also gets underway. On Wednesday, September 7th, what the singer-songwriter FALK offers is simply "Unheard of." And that's why you have to hear it. The dark humor of the artist from Berlin is mercilessly reckless, yet still cleverly tongue-in-cheek.
It is presented deliciously when Rena Schwarz takes the stage: "Being a princess is no dream job either." And when the comedy woman points out that the gingerbread house of the wicked witch would have to be gluten-free today, you can guess where the fairy-tale journey will go: to Absurdistan!
Utterly authentic is the final cultural treat of the small arts week. For the singer-songwriter Miss Allie brings "an acoustic guitar, a big heart, and waves of emotion." And she will surely reveal her secret when she claims: "From shit comes gold."
With the Pfanne 2022, the team of the Cultural Office will once again show how fantastic classic cabaret and the latest comedy trends combine to create a great overall menu, and one can rightly say: St. Ingbert really has something on the ball.
All events start at 7:30 PM and take place in the industrial cathedral Alte Schmelz.
