Frank Goosen brings Christmas madness to life at the Schauspielhaus Bochum
With Nativity Blues – Remixed, Frank Goosen returns to Schauspielhaus Bochum on December 20, 2026, transforming the Advent season into a sharp-witted live experience full of humor, memories, and Ruhr area charm. The program is entirely in the tradition of his successful reading shows, tackling the pre-Christmas everyday life with biting accuracy, warm storytelling, and a wealth of stage experience.
Christmas with tempo, timing, and the right tone
Goosen does not simply talk about Christmas; he dissects the emotional and comical rituals of the season with precise timing. Between speculoos, Last Christmas, and small family abysses, a stage performance emerges that is based on wordplay, rhythm, and the sure orchestration of his stories. This is where the strength of the evening lies: it sounds familiar yet surprises with every new punchline.
An evening between nostalgia and pointed present
Frank Goosen draws from a rich treasure of experience as an author and stage artist. For decades, he has shaped the German-speaking reading and cabaret scene with texts that connect everyday life, pop culture, and Ruhr area identity. His books like Learning to Lie, Summer Festival, Sweet Dreams, Game On!, and Lovely Rita demonstrate his deft navigation between novels, narratives, and live texts. He also excels live with a mix of laconic observation, intelligent sharpness, and a presence that immediately captivates the audience.
The Schauspielhaus as the perfect stage
The Schauspielhaus Bochum offers a large yet intimate setting with up to 811 seats for this guest performance evening. Its central location at Königsallee 15, good accessibility via public transport, and the parking garage P9 at the Schauspielhaus make getting there easy. There are also barrier-free access options, wheelchair spaces, and induction hearing systems available, making the visit comfortable and accessible.
Press reviews and expectations for the evening
The official play page references enthusiastic press reviews highlighting Goosen's ability to recharge fixed Christmas motifs and make the audience laugh with linguistic precision. This is exactly what the audience can expect in Bochum: a punchline-rich evening full of Christmas stories, everyday satire, and emotional recognition. Those who want to experience Frank Goosen live will receive a concert experience of a different kind – as a literary stage with heart, tempo, and attitude.
Conclusion: Nativity Blues – Remixed promises an evening at Schauspielhaus Bochum filled with sharp humor, Ruhr area warmth, and festive exaggeration. Anyone wanting to experience Christmas culture with brains and heart should secure this date live.
