Sick and Tired

Get ready for a one-of-a-kind bilingual cabaret that’s all about breaking barriers and sharing real stories around disability, chronic illness, mental health, neurodivergence and healthcare experiences.

Expect a dazzling mix of GLAMOUR, music, raw vulnerability, and genuine COMMUNITY vibes. We’re here to smash stereotypes, spotlight healthcare struggles, and build a tribe that gets it.

Featuring performances from:

Einfach Else

Julietta la Doll

Mieze McCripple

Baphometh

Special video appearance by New Zealand’s burlesque queen Jaqueline Boxx

Hosted by Berlin’s own singing diva Lilly Mortis

But here’s the best part—you can be part of the show!

Do you have a disability or chronic condition? Ever had a weird, hilarious or downright absurd experience with the healthcare system? Share it on our “Tell Your Story – Open Stage” segment! Just swing by the box office, fill out a quick form, get a short briefing 20 minutes before showtime, wait for your name to be called, and OWN that stage. Whether it’s a poem, song, dance, comedy bit, or just straight-up storytelling—your 6 minutes, your rules (within show guidelines, of course).

Not into performing? No worries! Drop an anonymous note in the “Sick Bucket” at the box office. Our host will share these gems live during the show.
