Komödchen, Political cabaret theatre in Altstadt, Düsseldorf, Germany.
Komödchen is a cabaret theatre in Düsseldorf's old town that presents political satire and commentary on stage. The auditorium seats around 200 people and hosts performances by actors and cabaret performers who share their thoughts on current issues with the audience.
The theatre was founded in 1947 by Kay and Lore Lorentz, starting in the back room of a pub. It moved to its current location in 1967 and became an important venue for political entertainment in Germany.
The name refers to the cabaret tradition that has been central to the space for decades. Visitors experience a place where political discussions are woven into daily life through humor and sharp observations.
The theatre sits at Kay-und-Lore-Lorentz-Platz and is easy to find in the old town. Shows run regularly throughout the week, so checking the venue's website or calling ahead helps confirm current times and availability.
The theatre has deliberately chosen not to accept government subsidies and finances itself entirely through ticket sales and donations. This makes it one of the few independent institutions of its kind that has managed to survive without external support for so long.
