<img attachment="renato_kaiser.webp" align="right" caption="Renato Kaiser">In September of 2023, I saw "s'läbä isch geil" by Renato Kaiser. It was a solid two hours. He had no notes. He delivered a two-hour show from memory. He is incredibly eloquent, introspective, insightful, poetic, and very, very funny. These are the "chapters" of that nearly two-hour show <ul> Life is good Severin What about immortality? Would we want that? Why not? Just for ourselves? Or for everyone? Swiss Lotto / Win4Llife Cats; Altersheim Flossing Gendering in speech Serial killers Violence against women Menopause Body autonomy Abortion (long) Mechanics of biology (17kph) Contraception Catholic church On not having children / sterilization Apéros and guests / rudeness to current female partners Climate change (short) Gotthard tunnel Ferien in die Schweiz Carnivores Vegetarians Vegans (long) Climate change (short reprise) s'läbä isch geil </ul> I was reminded of having seen the show because he just published an even older set---from September 2017---on his YouTube channel. <media href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SZ9oGP4PHo" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/4SZ9oGP4PHo" source="YouTube" width="560px" author="Renato Kaiser" caption="Soloshow - Renato Kaiser in der Kommentarspalte"> This set is also very, very good. There is poetry, letters, comedy, and stories. He's brilliant. He's possibly the funniest comedian I've seen. <ul> Onlinekommentare Slam-Dichter Nicht Literarisch genug Lehrer Ausländer (wer darf eigentlich in einer Villa wohnen?)
