When facts suddenly carry a punchline: FUNFACTS with Claus von Wagner
On Tuesday, September 29, 2026, the Blackbox at Fat Cat in Munich will transform into a humorous news laboratory. At FUNFACTS, Claus von Wagner will lead an evening where facts, attitudes, and pointed entertainment meet. The cabaret artist combines journalistic context with stand-up energy – and shows that reality often writes the best absurd sketch itself.
Political cabaret with attitude and humor
Claus von Wagner is one of the defining voices of political cabaret in Germany. Known from the ZDF-heute-show and as the host of the satirical show Die Anstalt, he combines precise observation with dry timing, linguistic finesse, and a stage presence that makes even complex relationships surprisingly light-footed.
At FUNFACTS, facts are the focus, which quickly get lost in the digital noise. The format relies on humor, journalistic research, and constructive contextualization. The research and contextualization arise in cooperation with CORRECTIV. Following it, a mixed-show will provide additional comedic perspectives.
A comedy atmosphere between news studio and club stage
The audience can expect not a dry lecture with a PowerPoint graveyard, but a lively laughter experience filled with punchlines, interaction, and surprising viewpoints. Claus von Wagner dissects social developments, adjusts the knobs of language, and finds comedy where others have long lost track.
His style moves between cabaret, satire, and intelligent stand-up observation. The timing is spot on, the arguments come with sharp profiles, and the audience reaction belongs to the evening like the final sentence of a successful punchline. FUNFACTS focuses on what really matters – without haste, hypocrisy, or hate.
Claus von Wagner: Award-winning stage and TV experience
Claus von Wagner celebrated the premiere of his first solo program in 1997. Throughout his career, he has received, among other honors, the German Cabaret Prize, the Bavarian Cabaret Prize, the Salzburg Stier, the German Small Arts Prize, and the Dieter-Hildebrandt Prize. His television appearances include not only the heute-show and Die Anstalt, but also formats like Schlachthof, Mitternachtsspitzen, and Scheibenwischer.
This experience shapes the evening: FUNFACTS combines stage craftsmanship, current topics, and a clear satirical stance. Those who enjoy political cabaret, clever observations, and humor with substance will find plenty of food for thought and laughter.
