In his new cabaret show "Heartbeat," Stefan Leonhardsberger takes the audience on a humorous and unflinching journey through the everyday life of modern family life. As a partner, handyman, and head of the household, he faces absurd challenges: bulky waste dates with his wife, surprise inspections from child protective services, or a neighbor who is superior in craftsmanship. Between meniscus surgeries, barbecues with know-it-alls, and secret hash cookies, he asks himself: Is one still cool at 40 – or already like one’s own father?
With a mix of gags, songs, and intimate confessions, Leonhardsberger creates an evening that is funny and cheeky, yet also strikes right to the heart. A show for anyone who recognizes themselves in the small and large disasters of growing up – or simply wants to laugh heartily about them.
