Urban Priol — Fresh from the source every day, always up to date!

You can't step into the same river twice, says Heraclitus, all being is becoming. You think of Stuttgart 21 and realize that the old Greek was right. “Everything to be is to become” — Urban Priol regularly comes to this conclusion when he is working on his press release shortly before the deadline.

His current program is also like a river in constant change. With argus eyes, the cabaret artist follows the steady stream of political events, from the stagnant waters of the grand coalition to the meandering trickle of traffic light government to the mental shoals in the brown swamp. Priol is always up to date, spontaneously and on a daily basis he often mocks faster than his shadow can think. It grumbles, thunders, flashes and thus, like a cleansing thunderstorm, lets many things shine in a bright, cheerful light. The master of parody ploughs endlessly through the night, sums up complex connections and transforms opaque, cloudy swirls into pure spring water. With joy, he plunges into the floods of daily insanity, dives into the abyss of the absurd, blasphemes lustfully and has just as much fun as his audience.

“In the river.” is like a rafting trip that takes you at a rapid pace across ledges and past boulders through wildly foaming rapids. Come with me! Follow the motto of another great Greek philosopher, Costa Cordalis: “Get on the boat tonight! “You won't regret it.
