history

In December 1962, Countess Anija Orlowska and Trude Schuster from Csikós founded the comedy boulevard theater in Düsseldorf. In 1967, Alfons Höckmann and his wife, the actress Ingrid Braut, took over the business in the house at Steinstrasse 23 in Düsseldorf city center . As opening night was the locomotive of André Roussin given with Lil Dagover , Franz Schafheitlin and Simone Rethel . From then on, many actors who were mostly known from television and other tabloid theaters appeared in the comedy.

After 35 years, Helmuth Fuschl and Paul Haizmann took over the theater in July 2003, which takes on light entertainment. The first piece after the change was a good game with Alexander May and Karl-Heinz von Hassel . Well-known actors such as B. Volker Brandt , Hardy Krüger jr. , Volker Lechtenbrink , Julia Biedermann , Billie Zöckler shaped the productions. 2004 showed the comedy u. a. The Robbery of the Sabine Women , The Woman in Black with Ellen Schwiers and Instructions for Use with Anita Kupsch . In the following season there were Loriot's dramatic works , Sonny Boys and Ralf Bauer in Mit Angel's Tongues . In 2006 Eight Women with Karin Baal and Frohe Feste were performed. The following year they played The Little Prince and Norms, is it you? with Kalle Pohl . Whole guys directed by Matthias Freihof could be seen in the theater in 2007. In spring 2008, Männerhort was staged with Hagen Henning and Thomas Freitag . Alone at last was the title of a comedy by Lawrence Roman with Manon Straché in the lead role. In October 2008 there is a nice present with Tanja Schumann . 2012 came discretion honor of Lewis Easter man on stage. It played u. a. Kalle Pohl , Katrin Filzen , Claudia van Veen and Roland Jankowsky .

In 2014 Fuschl and Haizmann handed over the management to Katrin Schindler and Michael Forner after 11 years of work. Katrin Schindler has been the sole managing director since 2016 and is also responsible for the artistic direction of the house.

The theater should not be confused with the Kom (m) ödchen cabaret stage , also in Düsseldorf.
