Jan Peter-Petersen will be performing his current program "Too late is never too early" for the Cabaret Days on 2 October at the Kunsthalle Kühlungsborn.
Jan-Peter Petersen is the founder, author and actor of the Hamburg cabaret Alma Hoppe (founded in 1984) and has been performing on stage for 40 years.
He studied law, German language and literature, journalism and economics and, apart from cabaret, looked for and found nothing where he could put it all to good use.
In 1994, together with his stage colleague Nils Loenicker, he opened Alma Hoppe's Lustspielhaus in Hamburg, the cabaret theater in Hamburg with 350 seats and daily cabaret performances.
65 Alma Hoppe programs have been staged since 1984 in more than 5500 performances.
In addition, Jan-Peter Petersen has also successfully brought his solo programs to stages throughout Germany. His latest prank: "Too late is never too early".
As always, the focus is on political cabaret: a committed, explosive but extremely entertaining mixture of political, economic and social satire with a high fun factor.
Hamburger Abendblatt: "He offers lovers of jet-black humor an entertaining evening, while those with delicate sensibilities will be left breathless." With a program "that thaws even the coolest Hanseatics at microwave speed." (NDR)
Weserkurier: "At top speed, trenchant analyses fly around the audience's ears like verbal machine gun salvos."
"The success lies in the variety of artistic means and the ingenuity of the characters. It is breathtaking how Petersen, as a "consultant for streamlining the workforce", analyzes a marketing and financial world gone mad." (Hamburger Morgenpost)
"Where does the fun end, where does the cynicism begin? The transitions are often fluid, sometimes abrupt. A dense, subtle tapestry of punchlines in a fast-paced solo." (Hamburger Abendblatt)
"A firework of flashes of wit. Nothing instills the slightest hint of respect. It is precisely this flippancy that makes it incredibly funny: the result is a delicious blend of apparent nonsense and intelligent depth of focus." (Lüneburger Zeitung)
