Michael Mittermeier presents a new program in the sold-out Stadthalle in Erding and surprises the audience with his openness.

Erding – The audience got to know another Michael Mittermeier in the sold-out Erdinger Stadthalle on Friday evening.

They greeted the godfather of German stand-up comedy, who has been on stage successfully for more than 30 years, with thunderous applause.

Growing up in Dorfen, he gave a kind of home game with his brand new program #13.

"The applause is stronger here than in Frankfurt," he said happily.

While the 56-year-old delivered his gags in the first half of the two-and-a-half-hour program and hardly missed a current topic, he seemed thoughtful and vulnerable after the break, which made him very likeable.

Everything that a best ager like Mittermeier was passionate about was served.

He provided tips for colonoscopy so that he didn't have to walk fart through the city to see how he had fared.

This theme works for young and old alike, and the audience roared with laughter.

Prussians in lederhosen: "The greatest cultural appropriation ever."

He couldn't understand why people get upset that a Frenchman is playing Winnetou, but a Prussian in lederhosen is simply accepted.

"This is the greatest cultural appropriation ever," grumbled the resident of Munich.

The comedian noted that the new part of The Lord of the Rings is now diversely occupied.

That borders on racism.

That's why he demanded: "A Lower Bavarian must be there."

The football World Cup in Qatar in the middle of the Christmas season irritated the self-confessed Bayern fan.

"Will there be a combination panini booklet?

Do I then trade the Holy Family for Manuel Neuer?”

Mittermeier doesn't need a lot of frills.

He saunters back and forth on stage just telling funny stories that show his attitude.

The common thread in the program is formed by recurring themes that he interweaves.

So he would like to send Putin to "Love Island" - an RTL series that the comedian had previously called a laxative for the brain.

The father of a daughter also chats from his living room and that of his parents.

After this program, the people of Dorfen know why there was an industrial vacuum cleaner with the inscription "Beware of wasps" hanging in the tree in the Mittermeiers' garden: It was a special insect hotel.

I have beef with the church

Comedian Michael Mittermeier

Daughter Lilli (14) is often harsh with her father.

All the men around her are younger than him - except for grandpa, who was also in the audience, by the way.

The teenage father should also avoid youthful language as much as possible.

But that didn't stop the comedian from openly admitting: "I have beef with the church." A theme that runs through all of Mittermeier's programs.

He felt God for the first time in elementary school when the religion teacher gave him a smack.

For him it is perfectly clear why the church is so against abortion.

"They need supplies."

Comedian talks about taboo topic

For the first time he also revealed his very personal experiences with the church: his wife had to suffer four miscarriages.

The star children were buried in a “mass grave” in the clinic garden because they were not baptized.

Limbo was only abolished in 2007.

Then it became very quiet in the town hall.

"It happens to many," Mittermeier knows, but it is not discussed.

It was obviously important to him to break this taboo, because "everyone is somehow a minority, but if all the minorities got together, we would be a majority".

A beautiful sentence with which he said goodbye to his audience after an entertaining and at the same time touching program.
