The cabaret has a rich tradition that goes back to the 19th century. It began with the opening of the "Chat Noir" in Paris on November 18, 1881. The goal of the cabaret was and is to illuminate political events humorous and to raise humanity in an entertaining way. The birth of the German -speaking cabaret marks the year 1901 with the "Bunten Theater" (Underbrettl) in Berlin, which significantly shaped the art form.
