Sarah Hakenberg

There are times when the last joke has been told and all the cheerful melodies in the world have faded away. But fortunately, those times haven’t arrived yet! For the singer-songwriter, winner of the “German and Swiss Cabaret Award,” shows that you can laugh at almost anything—even what hurts. With witty songs, biting lyrics, and disarming charm, she transforms the absurdities of everyday life into brilliant satire. Poor old white men who can’t cope with change are just as much a target as children playing a scavenger hunt at the slaughterhouse. Sarah Hakenberg cheerfully taps away at the keys, strums her ukulele, and tells stories that explore both the abysses slumbering within us and the great chaos out there. It might not make the world any better, but at least it makes it more bearable. An evening full of wit and wonderful music—bold, clever,
and wonderfully liberating!
