Theater Drehleier

Theater Drehleier is a cabaret theater in Munich's Au-Haidhausen district with a main stage approximately 6 meters wide and 3 meters deep. An additional side stage of roughly 3 by 3 meters allows flexible seating arrangements and varied performance formats for the 199-seat auditorium.

Founded in 1976 by Werner Winkler, this venue became an established entertainment location in Munich's cultural scene. It has maintained its role as a performance space for diverse art forms and continued to evolve over the decades.

The venue hosts year-round performances including stand-up comedy, musical concerts, drag shows, and improvisational theater that engage audiences directly. Visitors experience a mix of local and touring artists who create an interactive and playful relationship with the crowd.

The venue opens at 18:30 on event days, with food and drinks available before performances that typically begin at 20:00. Arriving early helps you secure a good seat and soak in the atmosphere before the show starts.

The space uses professional audio and lighting equipment, including a Yamaha mixing console and moving head light fixtures, which sets a high technical standard. This investment in modern technology elevates production quality beyond what most small cabaret venues typically achieve.
