stage name
Max Gehrig struggled with his first name as a child. After he moved to Munich and the local dialect made Markus a Max, he kept this and no longer uses his original first name.
Stage programs
While his first two programs ("Ach Mama!", 1999 and "Danke Franken!", 2003) were still strongly politically oriented, in 2010 he turned to his program "Gute Nacht, Freunde !?" to a new branch, the everyday cabaret. "Goodnight friends!?" Gehrig still lists them today, always in a modified form and supplemented by current topics. Here he draws from his rich life experience, the knowledge of many human weaknesses and strengths as well as his loose but always lovable mouth. Furthermore, he invented the culinary palate-stimulating and at the same time stressing the laughing muscles dinner show "hellish? Devilish!" (2010) as well as the anarchy theater "Men at Beer!" (2011), in which he presented improvisational theater in a completely new, different and therefore challenging way for the audience. In "Reading? Lust!" (2011) he brings selected hearty, thought-provoking and also smirking delicacies from literature closer to his listeners.
Together with his colleague Daniel Helfrich, he shows an annual review with the title "Fits already!", Which has it all in all directions. He works successfully as a co-author and director on stage programs for colleagues.
characters
In his stage programs he embodies different characters, the best known are probably the "fat uncle", as Gehrig calls himself in his cabaret program, and the "Düvel vom Dom", the main character of his play "hellish? Devilish!"
