Frank Goosen brings Christmas madness to the stage with fine Ruhrpott humor
When Frank Goosen comes to the Schauspielhaus Bochum with Krippenblues, literary reading meets punchline-driven comedy atmosphere. On December 20, 2026, the Bochum author and cabaret artist serves Christmas stories with exactly the mix of warmth, wit, and slightly overwhelmed holiday truth that his audience has loved for years.
An evening between reflection and belly laughs
Goosen knows the festival of family, gifts, and small disasters from personal experience. Four decades as a victim of Christmas provide enough material for precise timing, dry punchlines, and that special audience reaction where one first smirks and then bursts into laughter. Those who appreciate the Ruhr area, cabaret, and clever observations will have a real laughing experience here.
Bochum original with literary impact
Frank Goosen was born in 1966 in Bochum, studied at Ruhr University, and made a name for himself in the German cultural scene with Tresenlesen, novels like Liegen lernen, and numerous award-winning performances. On stage, he combines storytelling, stand-up proximity, and cabaret precision into a style that never loudly begs for attention but instead captures it with charm, presence, and rhythm.
The Schauspielhaus as a fitting stage
The Schauspielhaus Bochum at Königsallee 15 provides the right setting for this guest performance: centrally located, steeped in tradition, and with good public transport and parking access. The stage is suitable for an evening where Christmas kitsch turns into fine humor and everyday observations become great theater in the best sense.
Why the evening is worth it
Krippenblues promises no polished feel-good show but clever entertainment with heart, pace, and a keen observation of the comedic sides of December. Anyone wanting to experience live how Frank Goosen transforms the festival of events into genuine stage material should save this date.
