"I'm still good." That was written on the yoghurt in the supermarket, but it also applies to Oberhausen music cabaret artists. When Matthias Reuter recently called his ophthalmologist, the cheerful receptionist told him the following: "Hahaha. Yes, all those 70-year-olds, they're all going bust now." She must know. She makes the appointments. Matthias Reuter is from 1976, but he still considers himself repairable. That's why he's going back on stage to present new songs and encouraging musical cabaret with escape reflexes. Laugh or run? That is the question of our time. With Reuter, the desire to run becomes greater. Preferably far, far away. Because nothing fits for him anymore: the news is getting worse, but newspaper subscriptions are still getting more expensive. There are more and more celebrities, but no one you know. And if tech billionaires rule the world, why does everything still feel like the Stone Age? Matthias Reuter's fist is not so loose, so his only option is to take refuge in humour. And so he embarks on a search for ways of not taking today's world as seriously as he would like. Because only those who don't take the situation too seriously will be able to cope with it. That's the motto. Says the receptionist. And that's why it applies to all generations from now on: Get off the couch and go to the cabaret! Appointments are also much easier to get than at the ophthalmologist.

Matthias Reuter is an author and music cabaret artist from the Ruhr region. He has been able to make a living from it since 2010 (says the tax office). He has to live on it until 2070 (says his pension certificate) Reuter has received several cabaret awards for his performances, e.g. the Hessian Cabaret Prize 2018, the Dresden Satire Prize 2019, but also the jury prize of "Tegtmeiers Erben" in 2011.

programmes have been published by WortArt-Verlag in Cologne, most recently the double CD "Höchstwahrscheinlich echt" in 2024. The short story books "Mäh" and "Rentnerfischen im Hallenbad" are available from Satyr-Verlag in Berlin.

Press quotes on the programme:

"Despite the many laugh-inducing passages in his programme, the man from Oberhausen always remains on the high level of subtle thoughts, often paired with deep black humour of the finest kind." (Badisches Tagblatt)

"If you like Roski, you will love Reuter." (Bonner Generalanzeiger)
