Paul Panzer in Jena: New Show at the Sparkassen-Arena

The renowned comedian Paul Panzer is coming to Jena live in March 2027 with his brand-new show, “Schöne neue Welt – welcome to hell.” On Saturday, March 6, 2027, he will transform the Sparkassen-Arena into a stage for humorous social commentary and absurd everyday grievances.

Artist Background: From Radio Cult to Arena Star

Dieter Tappert, better known by his unmistakable stage persona Paul Panzer, has been shaping the German comedy landscape for decades. With his signature horn-rimmed glasses, colorful floral shirt, and distinctive speech impediment, he has built a loyal fan base. Starting with his now-legendary radio prank calls, where he confronted unsuspecting citizens with absurd questions, the Paul Panzer character quickly evolved into an absolute audience favorite on theater stages.

Following highly successful programs such as “Heimatabend Deluxe,” “Hart Backbord,” and most recently “Midlife Crisis,” the cult humorist is now turning his attention to the pressing questions of our time. His performances are regularly sold out nationwide, underscoring his status as one of Germany’s most popular live comedians. Much like his renowned colleagues Bülent Ceylan or Mario Barth, he effortlessly draws crowds to the country’s largest arenas.

The Current Show: “Schöne neue Welt – welcome to hell”

The focus of the new program is the unstoppable and often frightening transformation of our modern world. Paul Panzer looks at digitalization, artificial intelligence, climate change, and the daily madness of human relationships with a mixture of childlike naivety and sharp-tongued sarcasm. Under the provocative subtitle “welcome to hell,” he dissects the supposed achievements of modernity.

In doing so, he poses existential questions: Is the brave new world really so desirable, or are we heading straight for a comedic inferno? His razor-sharp observations often reflect the anxieties that many people feel in their daily lives. The Jena audience can look forward to whimsical stories from the Panzer household, where wife Hilde, son Bolle, and the omnipresent technical pitfalls of everyday life once again play leading roles.

The Venue & Atmosphere in Jena

The Sparkassen-Arena in Jena-Burgau provides the perfect setting for this major comedy event in the spring of 2027. The state-of-the-art multifunctional hall is known throughout Thuringia for its excellent acoustics and optimal sightlines from every seat.
