Kathi Wolf

What a ray of hope in these turbulent times: The funniest psychologist from Swabia and self-proclaimed “queen of the loony bin” is taking it to the next level and has now crowned herself “Psycho Royal.” She’s already snapped off the much-discussed prong from her crown—so she’s got nothing left to lose. Except maybe her composure. Or her patience. Or both at the same time. In *Psycho Royal*, things are in complete disarray amid politics, society, and the perfectly normal inner state of emergency. Kathi dissects the zeitgeist, battles her way through her own highs and crashes, and takes the audience into her world, viewed through the lens of a psychologist. Navigating the spectrum between feminism and the desire for peace, destigmatization and escapism, self-presentation and the search for meaning, Kathi moves with unerring precision through the neuroses of our time with her signature blend of political
cabaret, stand-up comedy, and music. “Psycho Royal” is not a traditional stage show—it’s an invitation to collective self-diagnosis. A humorous therapy session without a health insurance card, but with guaranteed laughs and surprising “aha” moments. Or, to put it in Kathi’s words: In the end, we’re all a little psycho—the only question is how “royally” we handle it.

Kathi has been performing on small-venue stages across Germany for over ten years and can be seen regularly on TV, among other things, as a cast member of “Asül für alle.” As a trained actress, she also appears in front of the camera time and again—and takes great pleasure in hosting events, galas, film festivals, and anything else that doesn’t manage to hide backstage in time. Her psychology degree not only served as an elegant way to pass the time while waiting for a therapy slot, but also continues to reliably provide her shows with fresh material to this day—essentially field research on an open heart.
