assessment
In addition to his work as an author, Lederer is basically the last representative of the famous Viennese cabaret scene that began in the basement and student theaters of the inter-war period and flourished again after 1945. His way led through important venues: studios of the universities, theater on Parkring, grandstand , Nestroytheater in Josefsgasse and others. In contrast to many of his colleagues, who went through a similar socialization, Lederer withdrew from the trend: He was not looking for a permanent engagement at renowned theaters, but preferred the independent and independent theater life until he found a permanent place to stay at the Theater am Schwedenplatz in 1970 .
