Berni Wagner unleashes his inner monster at the Lustspielhaus
On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Berni Wagner transforms the Munich Lustspielhaus into a laboratory of linguistic self-defense. His award-winning cabaret program Monster starts at 20:00, with doors opening at 18:00. Until 23:00, the audience can expect an intense stage experience between slapstick, fine observation, and razor-sharp word art.
When fear becomes the comedic protagonist
At the center of the performance is the search for the monster that supposedly slumbers within every person. Berni Wagner confronts this inner threat not with pathos, but with precise timing, absurd leaps of thought, and a humor that turns his own nervousness into material. From fear emerges a dramatic engine that propels the evening further.
Verbal Jiu-Jitsu with a sharp blade
Wagner's acting skills thrive on the agility of language. Syllables tip into surprising meanings, everyday sentences become unbalanced, and seemingly harmless observations grow into small cognitive catastrophes. The Austrian cabaret artist combines slapstick with linguistic precision and develops a distinctive stage aesthetic from it.
Award-winning cabaret with resonance
Berni Wagner, born in 1991, grew up in Upper Austria and has lived in Vienna since 2010. In 2013, he won the Graz Kleinkunstvogel. For Galápagos, he received the Austrian Cabaret Prize in 2022, and in 2023, he was awarded for GHÖST, which he developed together with Sonja Pikart and Christoph Fritz. His works have also been featured in radio comedy formats from Ö3, FM4, and Ö1 Campus.
Press reviews depict a picture of an artist with exceptional stage presence: The Süddeutsche Zeitung called him an event, the Falter described him as spectacular, and the OÖN praised his witty and refined art. These reactions point to a performance that does not merely string together punchlines, but understands language as theatrical play.
Theater atmosphere at the Munich Lustspielhaus
The Lustspielhaus on Occamstraße in Munich offers a focused setting for this solo performance between cabaret and stage art. The event takes place indoors. Wheelchair-accessible seats are available through the box office; a mobile ramp is provided for the entrance. However, there is no wheelchair-accessible toilet on site.
Conclusion: Monster promises an evening where fear, self-irony, and linguistic virtuosity converge into an electrifying cabaret performance. Those who experience Berni Wagner live will discover in the inner monster less horror than a source of surprising thoughts and liberating laughter. Secure tickets now for the stage experience at the Munich Lustspielhaus.
