Loriot at Volkshaus Jena: The Duck Stays Out!

The unforgettable humor of Vicco von Bülow returns to the stage: On Monday, February 15, 2027, the acclaimed sketch tribute “Loriot – Die Ente bleibt draußen!” will be performed at the Volkshaus Jena.

A Monument to the Grandmaster of German Humor

Bernhard-Viktor Christoph-Carl von Bülow, better known as Loriot, shaped German humor like no other. His subtle observations of everyday bourgeois life, precisely drawn misunderstandings between men and women, and his legendary facial expressions remain absolute cult classics decades after their creation. With the production “Die Ente bleibt draußen!”, a living monument is erected to this outstanding life’s work. The spirited ensemble approaches the original sketches with the utmost respect, breathing new life into these iconic characters on the theater stage.

Of Bathtubs, Kosakenzipfel, and Marital Woes

The program promises a sophisticated journey through the best sketches in German television history. Audiences can look forward to legendary scenes that have long since become part of everyday language. Whether it is the absurd argument between two gentlemen in a hotel bathtub over a squeaky duck, the dramatic division of a ‘Kosakenzipfel’ pastry, or the daily madness of making the bed – the punchlines are just as sharp today as they were back then. The special feature of the show is the theatrical and acting attention to detail, which perfectly adapts Loriot’s unmistakable linguistic rhythm and precise timing.

Volkshaus Jena as the Perfect Setting

The historic Volkshaus Jena provides the ideal setting for such a sophisticated and humorous performance. The building, steeped in history in the heart of the city, combines classic charm with modern acoustics, ensuring that even the quietest punchlines and finest nuances reach the Jena audience. The intimate atmosphere of the hall brings the audience close to the action, which is invaluable for the highly expressive sketches. Those who have come to appreciate modern comedy formats in Thuringia alongside classic humor may remember other highlights in the Jena cultural calendar like Tutty Tran live in Jena – but Loriot serves a unique, timeless genre of sophisticated entertainment.

A Must-See for Humor Enthusiasts

The event is not just a nostalgic flashback for older generations, but also an excellent opportunity for younger theater fans to discover the timeless brilliance of Vicco von Bülow live. It proves time and again: true comedy does not age. Advance sales for this evening at the Volkshaus are already underway, and given the popularity of the program, high demand is expected. An evening full of laughter, smiles, and the unmistakable Loriot cosmos is guaranteed.
