Dr. Pop - Hitverdächtig –Die Musik-Comedy-Stand-up-Show!

Karl-Farkass-Gasse 19

1030 Wien

 

Can you seriously get a doctorate in pop music? Yes! And what do you do with it? Comedy and cabaret. Dr. Pop is a doctor of all things musical. He's a fixture on radio, TV, the internet, and the stage. In his live show "Hitverdächtig" (Hit Potential), he treats with music samples and curious, but completely true, music facts. Did you know that termites eat through wood twice as fast when they listen to heavy metal? Or that there's the Barry White effect in evolutionary theory? The deeper the male's voice,
the greater his chances of mating. This applies to both humans and koalas.

In "Hitverdächtig," you'll hear music that can save a party, a relationship, or your motivation for exercise or housework. Whether pop, rock, classical, German Schlager, jazz, hip-hop, or rap: Dr. Pop fires off familiar and obscure samples from music history. And by the end of the show, everyone in the audience knows how to enrich their lives even more with music.

The program is constantly updated with current songs and new scientific studies; every evening is different—only the title and the host remain the same.

A surefire hit—the music comedy stand-up show for everyone who loves music or wants to start.

About the host:
Dr. Pop studied media studies and pop music in the four pop music capitals of the world: Manchester, Liverpool, Paderborn, and Detmold. He then earned his doctorate at Humboldt University in Berlin, writing his dissertation on terrorism and Orientalism in pop music. Dr. Pop performs on stage, appears in various TV formats, produces videos, and can be heard as a weekly columnist on RBB's radioeins with the segment "Dr. Pop's Recording Studio." The segment was nominated by the Grimme Institute jury for the German Radio Award in the "Best Comedy" category. As a presenter and comedian, he has already performed at the Waldbühne in Berlin in front of more than 17,000 people.

His book, "Dr. Pop's Musical Consultation" (Heyne Publishing), has been translated into Korean and published in South Korea (Whale Books). He tours Germany with his solo show, "Hit Potential."
