“Program No. 7 – Confounded Again!”

In Mayen, they are no longer strangers: The two passionate retirees from Koblenz, “Willi & Ernst,” captivated audiences during the festival summer of 2023.

This year, they are back with their new program and, fortunately, not reinventing themselves, but rather focusing on what has defined them for many years: Comedic slapstick, Rhineland humor, improvisation, theater, audience interaction, a huge dose of charm, and their gifted bodies in rhythm with the music.

Behind Willi & Ernst are the two experienced and award-winning comedians Dirk Zimmer and Markus Kirschbaum, who have been regular guests at the ZDF girls' session for many years and will celebrate their 20th stage anniversary in 2025!
