Wilfried Schmickler: Mr Schmickler please
Tickets (VVK 24 Euro AK 25 Euro) are available from February 2024 at the local advance booking offices Theatre Office, Touristinfo and BBV Bocholt and already online at
His new programme 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-humoured way, cheer up for the whole evening with cascades of text, diatribes and mocking songs.
With his call for more tolerance and compassion, he will continue to make a contribution to "the friendliness of the world"'!
WILFRIED SCHMICKLER has been honoured with the 4 most important cabaret prizes:
PRIX PANTHEON, DEUTSCHER KABARETTPREIS, DEUTSCHER KLEINKUNSTPREIS and SALZBURGER STIER! He was on the WDR-Mitternachtsspitzen for almost 30 years ("Aufhören Herr Becker") and every Monday at just before 11 he asks the "Montagsfrage" 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 humour 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 linguistic tiger with drastic word power: Schmickler amazed with kindness, was effervescent and quiet, subtle, cheeky and biting ." (Aachener Zeitung)
