Bitter evil Christmas revue: Cabaret against the Christmas stress!

Christmas is just around the corner and the countdown to the festival of celebrations has already begun. In order to properly celebrate the contemplative time, the “Oderhähne” invite you to a bitter Christmas revue on December 9th, 2025 under the title “The Bells Never Ring”. The event under the motto “Advanced training seminar for Christmas grouches” will take place from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. in the satirical theater and cabaret “Die Oderhähne” e.V. in the Oder-Spree Lake District. Gabi and Jean-Claude, the self-proclaimed “Christmas coaches”, take visitors on a humorous journey through the crazy Christmas season - always satirical, musical and surprisingly touching. The [Frankfurt Or](https://www.frankfurt-oder.de/ Offers-Beteiligungen/ Offers/Events-in-Frankfurt-Oder-/Weihnachtskabarett-Schril learn-the-bells-never-ring.php?object=tx,4071.4.1&ModID=11&FID=4071.65249.1&NavID=2616.2090&La=1&sfvort=1&sfreg=1&bn=1&k_sub=1) presents a diverse program that includes both a nativity play and a critique of capitalism.

But that's not all: other cabaret artists and artists have also taken it upon themselves to illuminate Christmas. The run-up to Christmas is known for its humorous events, which are often extremely popular and can sell out quickly. Have you ever had burning geese or dissatisfied relatives? Wallis Ehlert's humor deals with exactly such topics in her show "Wallis Wilde Weihnacht", which begins on November 29th in Bochum, or "Single Bells" by Lioba Albus, which deals with being alone during the holidays and will be performed in Cologne on December 7th. According to WAZ, humor is a proven means of dealing with stress, especially in these often turbulent times.

Cabaret and music in Advent

The variety of offerings is impressive. Anyone looking for a mixture of contemplation and sarcasm should not miss the Christmas revue “The X-Mas Files”, which will be shown in Cologne on December 21st. Admission is around 26 euros. In addition, Matthias Reuter is also active with his program “Spottwichteln”, which starts on December 7th at the Klüngelpütz cabaret in Cologne and focuses on satirical reviews of the year. Events like these show that there is a wide range of performances to liven up the festive mood.

For everyone who prefers music, there will be the traditional Christmas concert by Herbert Knebel's Affentheater in Duisburg on December 22nd and 23rd. Not only is the good old Christmas music played here, but also a portion of cheerful entertainment is served. Entrance fees are 31 euros.

A celebration for everyone

The entertaining offer during Advent is aimed at various target groups - from stressed families to lonely singles to DIY do-it-yourselfers. The Christmas revue in the “Oderhähne” is also ideal for a special Christmas party. So if you're still looking for a highlight in Advent, you shouldn't miss these events.

Let's enjoy this carefree but also thoughtful time together, in which humor plays an important role in exposing the Christmas madness and maintaining the anticipation of the holiday!
