Dirk Stermann: "Zusammenbraut"

Stermann's daughter is getting married and the comedian throws a party for her. But something is wrong, and the exuberant celebration turns into a reckoning with the TV star's fatherly qualities. A hot piano and a creepy babysitter, a hallelujah and the truth about the good ORF man from Sezuan. Dirk Stermann's first solo program is as amusing as it is abysmal, and in the end he dances all by himself. Dirk Stermann was awarded the prestigious radio prize for German-language cabaret, the Salzburger Stier 2024, for “ZUSAMMENBRAUT”! Dirk Stermann, born in Duisburg in 1965, has lived in Vienna since 1987. He is one of the most popular cabaret artists and television presenters in Austria and is also known in Germany and South Tyrol for his television and radio shows as well as his films and stage programs with Christoph Grissemann as the Stermann & Grissemann duo. Since May 2007, he has co-hosted the weekly late night show “Willkommen Österreich”. With his novels “Sechs Österreicher unter den ersten fünf”, “Stoß im Himmel”, “Der Junge bekommt das Gute zuletzt”, “Der Hammer”, “Maksym”, “Mir geht's gut, wenn nicht heute, dann morgen”, Stermann has successfully joined the ranks of German-language fiction authors.
