„PUPPENALARM!“ brings laughter and wonder to Bochum
On Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Varieté et cetera transforms into a stage for quirky puppet humor, spectacular acrobatics, and authentic variety atmosphere. The autumn show “PUPPENALARM!” combines ventriloquism, comedy, and international stage art into a lively stage experience for anyone who loves entertainment with surprise moments.
Tim Becker and his quirky puppet characters
The show is hosted by Tim Becker, known from “Night Wash” and “RTL-Puppenstars.” As a host and ventriloquist, he engages in witty verbal duels with his plush figures. The drama thrives on precise timing, surprising role changes, and the comedic question of who actually leads whom on stage. His puppet comedy combines sharp observation with over-the-top nonsense and develops a unique style of acting.
Artistic risk meets poetic precision
Nacho Ricci creates intense tension on the vertical rope. Every grip, every turn, and every movement appears calculated, while the height visibly holds the audience's breath. Sage Macaggi adds a colorful touch with rapid hat juggling: several hats seem to float weightlessly through the air and return in precisely choreographed movements.
Gwenadou brings a high-energy connection of classic variety art and modern acrobatics to the stage with hula-hoops. The swirling hoops, the rhythmic play of the body, and the dynamic lighting create images that hover between nostalgia and the present. The ensemble is complemented by acrobatic games, trampoline, aerial hoop, handstand, and other artistic disciplines.
A variety evening with pace and theatrical atmosphere
The production relies on a varied switching between comedy, body control, and visual stage magic. Following the comedic dialogue comes the moment of utmost concentration, and after risky acrobatics, a feather-light movement. It is precisely this contrast that adds to the charm of the show: “PUPPENALARM!” begins with a smile, escalates into an artistic adrenaline rush, and repeatedly opens spaces for poetry.
The Varieté et cetera on Herner Straße provides the perfect backdrop for this. The theater ambiance combines gastronomy, stage design, acoustics, and live entertainment into a rounded event experience. The show lasts for 90 minutes without an intermission. Entry and the kitchen open for the 12 pm performance one hour before the start.
Conclusion: A stage experience between humor, risk, and poetry
“PUPPENALARM!” promises an autumn show that brings together various audience reactions: liberating laughter, tense silence, and amazed applause. Those looking to experience puppet comedy, international acrobatics, and the unique atmosphere of a variety theater live will find an entertaining afternoon full of energy and surprises at Varieté et cetera.
