story

Dieter Hildebrandt revealed in February 1952 during a Carnival festival of theater studies at the University of Munich with his fellow Gerd Potyka , Klaus Peter Schreiner and Guido Weber in Schwabing Kellerlokal Old lantern an impromptu program with sketches . The success with the audience meant that the landlady invited the students to perform twice a week for free beer and a hot dinner.

A good week later, on February 25, 1952, the official debut of the cabaret The Nameless with the laconic title Your First Program took place. Even after the party, the troop stayed together. The second program, called It's So Good To Be Private , dealt with the rearmament debate. The troupe thus made a daily guest appearance in July 1955 at Café Freilinger in Leopoldstrasse .

Sports reporter Sammy Drechsel finally arranged the Schwabing pub Das Stachelschwein by Fred Kassen in Ursulastraße as a permanent venue. From the third program, The Zeros Are Among Us , which premiered on November 3, 1955, Drechsel took over the directorial work. In the late summer of 1956, Hildebrandt's colleagues went into business for themselves. The nameless were developed by Drechsel and Hildebrandt in 1956 to become the Munich Lach- und Schießgesellschaft . The name originated from an idea by Oliver Hassencamp as a paragraph for the night watch company Münchner Wach- und lock company founded in 1902 .

In addition to Hildebrandt, Drechsel succeeded in winning three already distinguished cabaret artists for the project. The first occupation of the Munich Lach- und Schießgesellschaft consisted of Ursula Herking , Klaus Havenstein (both from Kleine Freiheit ), Hans Jürgen Diedrich (from the amnesties ) and Dieter Hildebrandt. The first three-hour program because they do not know what to do they had on 12 December 1956 in the crowded local premiere and was designed by the ARD broadcast in March 1957th Topics included the operation in a manager's office and in an advertising agency. From then on, an annual broadcast of the current cabaret programs was part of the broadcasting schedule of the ARD, on New Year's Eve under the title Schimpf before 12 .

Ursula Noack joined the ensemble in 1958, but has not yet gone on tour . In the following year she took over from Ursula Herking. Other well-known cabaret artists of the Munich laughing and shooting society were

In 1972 the ensemble broke up and a break occurred. It was not until 1976 that the Münchner Lach- und Schießgesellschaft was re-established at the insistence of Dieter Hildebrandt and the performances continued in the old cabaret tradition. Hildebrandt remained connected to cabaret and wrote the lyrics with others such as Klaus Peter Schreiner and Werner Schneyder until 1980 . After Sammy Drechsel's death, his widow Irene Koss worked behind the scenes in the 1980s, often sitting at the cash register and looking after the ensemble. Until her death in 1996, she also built up a text and image archive for the Lach- und Schießgesellschaft with all old and new programs.

Among other things, the new Munich laughing and shooting society played:

In 2010 the ensemble consisted of Beatrix Doderer , Ecco Meineke and Severin Groebner . After that, the permanent ensemble was abolished in 2011 and the house was no longer only used in addition to its own performances, but consistently with guest appearances by other cabaret artists and comedians .

From October 2015 there was again a permanent ensemble with Caroline Ebner , Norbert Bürger , Sebastian Rüger and Frank Smilgies , which celebrated its premiere with the 50th program of Lach und Schieß. In 2018 Claudia Jacobacci took over the role of Caroline Ebner.

In June 2020 a new ensemble with Christl Sittenauer , Sebastian Fritz and Frank Klötgen introduced itself , which is developing a first program for October 2020.
