Katrin Bauerfeind has done the math: half her life is over. At least statistically. Was this perhaps already the better half? What comes next? Menopause, quietly fading into invisibility, Botox? While others have long since become icons at this age, one’s own timeline feels curiously makeshift. And TikTok seems like a party where you don’t know whether you’re invited or just ironically tolerated. But this is not a swan song. It’s not time to quit just yet, not while gin and tonic still provides a lifeline. During this stand-up show, we’ll let our hair down together. (Just a little, of course, not like we used to. Nobody can do that anymore). It’ll be like Taylor Swift, but without the songs.  Katrin Bauerfeind – presenter, actress, author, voice of a generation, always veering between pop culture and politics – takes center stage. Known for her keen eye, her clever humor, and her love of contradiction, she dissects the myth of middle age. Personal, pointed, and mercilessly honest, she gives the starting signal for the second half. And woe betide if it doesn’t turn out to be better than the first.
