Schwerter cabaret weeks
The Schwerter Kleinkunstwochen is a series of events in Schwerte that has been offering international artists of various genres (cabaret, puppet theater, chanson, etc.) the opportunity to present themselves on a big stage since 1983.
The series traditionally consists of several events that take place every spring over a period of a few months. At every appearance, the audience receives rating cards on which a rating of up to 120 points can be awarded for the show seen. The artist with the highest average rating (total number of points / number of ratings submitted) wins the Schwerter Kleinkunstpreis . The award ceremony will take place the following year, with the winning program being presented again.
