A cabaret evening with drawing power: Tobias Mann hosts the 17th WDR Cabaret Festival
When the Pantheon opens in Bonn for the WDR Cabaret Festival, sharp punchlines meet political cabaret, musical interludes, and the wonderfully unpredictable audience reactions that only a real live evening can bring. Tobias Mann will guide through an evening on September 29, 2026, which combines wordplay, timing, and stage presence in a single comedy atmosphere.
A host who not only announces punchlines but ignites them
Tobias Mann is considered a satirical professional between cabaret, comedy, and music. In his official biography, he is described as an artist awarded multiple times; among others, he won the Prix Pantheon, the German Small Arts Award, and the Hamburg Comedy Prize. In addition, he has many years of experience as a moderator, for example, at the WDR Cabaret Festival and in TV formats like Mann, Sieber!. This very mix makes him the ideal choice for an evening like the WDR Cabaret Festival: confident, quick-witted, and wide awake.
The Pantheon: small distance, big impact
The Pantheon in Bonn-Beuel is perfectly suited for a cabaret evening where every wink counts. The venue is wheelchair accessible, has an accessible restroom, and is well connected by bus and train. According to the venue, there are parking spots on the courtyard of Siegburger Straße 42 and in the surrounding streets; parking is explicitly not allowed on Josef-Thiebes- and Paulusstraße. Those arriving by public transport can reach the Pantheon stop directly near the entrance.
Why this evening attracts comedy fans
The WDR Cabaret Festival stands for a mix of political sharpness, precise observation, and that live dynamic that truly blossoms in the hall. Tobias Mann brings the necessary authority: WDR experience, stage experience, awards, and a sharp sense for punchlines that resonate. Several strong contributions are expected, an evening with clear dramaturgy, and an audience that not only laughs but also thinks along.
Conclusion: Those who seek cabaret with attitude, speed, and a fine comedic edge will find an evening with real live sparks at the Pantheon. The 17th WDR Cabaret Festival promises intelligent entertainment, strong punchlines, and a host who keeps everything together with style. Anyone wanting to be there should not miss this date.
