Cabaret and comedy are theater and cabaret performances. The cabaret is characterized by the combination of acting in short scenes and dialogues with poems and music. The often satirical texts mostly deal with current states and events.

Comedy is a form of drama that represents human weaknesses. The comedy has a long history dating back to the 6th century BC. Dates back to ancient Greece. In the Middle Ages “Schwank” was a typical comedy.
