Cabaret – an important form of cabaret

Cabaret is an art form that has a long tradition in various countries and often deals with political and socially critical topics in a humorous way. How Wikipedia explains, cabaret artists combine performing arts, poetry and music, often in the form of satire or polemic. The boundaries between cabaret and other forms of entertainment such as stand-up comedy are blurred, as both styles aim to entertain audiences while making them think.

In Germany and Austria, cabaret has a rich history that dates back to the 19th century. The first cabaret opened in Vienna in 1901, and since then many famous cabaret artists have distinguished themselves. Niko Nagl also contributes to this lively tradition by taking up current topics in his program and commenting on them with a sharp wit.
