Michael Krebs

When the first rays of sunshine drive away the winter, it’s not just the plants that bloom—allergies do, too. While others rush into beer gardens full of joie de vivre, Michael Krebs struggles with watery eyes, a runny nose, shortness of breath, and an internal itch that catapults him to the fringes of society. But instead of hiding away in a dark bedroom, he faces the merciless reality head-on: with humor, music—and a nasal rinse backstage.
“Attack of the Early Bloomers” is comedy for everyone who knows that spring isn’t just about glitter and butterflies, but also about antihistamines and the feeling of being overwhelmed by a pollen apocalypse.

Michael Krebs, a multi-award-winning musical cabaret artist, delivers an allergic fireworks display of wordplay, live music, and razor-sharp observations. In his unmistakable style, he dissects the perfectly normal madness of everyday life—from hay fever symptoms to small talk at the pharmacy to absurd advice from people who suggest “seeing this as an opportunity to boost your immune system.”
And yes, even birch trees get a good roasting.
But “Attack of the Early Bloomers” is far more than just hay fever comedy. It’s a declaration of love for the absurdity of existence. A celebration for everyone who knows that laughter is the best medicine—right after cortisone. Michael Krebs manages to transform his personal pollen wars into universal punchlines. His songs—performed live on the piano and drawn straight from life—are catchy tunes with depth. And his view of the world is clear, funny, sometimes dark, but always human.

“Attack of the Early Bloomers” is a must-see for anyone who loves—and hates—spring at the same time. This show is the real deal—combining intellect, emotion, music, and a nasal rinse backstage.
So grab your tickets—before the next pollen count hits.
