Theatre & Cabaret
Leipzig has a proud history of cabaret clubs, which in their own way helped to fuel the breakup of the former GDR.
Prior the political changes in 1989, clubs such as the Academixer and the Leipziger Pfeffermühle, were already poking fun at the failed communist state. In a system which suppressed the freedom of speech, cabaret clubs in Leipzig were blowing the seeds of change, allowing the audience to read between the lines of comedy and variety shows.
Today in Leipzig the cabaret clubs still keep audiences entertained with performances of all sorts of artists, including comedians, singers, dancers, magicians, actors and of course political satire. The cabaret clubs in Leipzig offer great affordable fun.
