Medieval comedy show with live music, live vocals and interactive theatre

A role for life

Barde Barlhow takes the Middle Ages seriously. Himself, not always.

No other role has accompanied me for as long as Barde Barlhow. Over many years, a stage character has grown into a world of its own: with songs, stories, spontaneous encounters and performances on stages large and small.

The character lives through contact with the people in front of him. Sometimes one look is enough, sometimes one brave guest, sometimes a hero suddenly has to prove far more courage than expected.

The result is not a fixed routine from a drawer, but an evening between the Middle Ages and modern life, live music, live vocals, stand-up comedy and improvisation.

Experience

One bard. Many adventures.

Laughter.

When stand-up comedy meets the Middle Ages.

Quick wit, spontaneous ideas and a loving bridge between modern life and the Middle Ages make every performance different.

Sometimes one look is enough. Sometimes one brave guest. And sometimes a story takes a very different turn on stage than planned.

Music.

Played live. Sung live. And rarely just for listening.

Live music and live vocals are part of Barde Barlhow's world. Between medieval atmosphere and modern references, songs emerge for listening, laughing and singing along.

Sometimes the music tells a story. Sometimes it brings an entire event together.

Participation.

Here, the audience rarely remains just the audience.

Spontaneous tasks, small contests, improvised encounters and brave volunteers make the audience part of the story.

Whether five or ninety-five: good entertainment happens when people laugh, wonder and enter the moment together.

KinderRitterTurnier.

Interactive theatre for young heroines and heroes.

At the KinderRitterTurnier, children do not simply watch. They become part of a shared adventure.

With few props, lots of imagination, theatre, movement and plenty of fun, a story grows directly with the children on stage.

How it works

How your event takes shape.

Calmly prepared. Attentively accompanied. Open to the moment.

  1. 01

    Before the event

    The timeline, contacts, files and agreements stay collected in one place. That creates clarity before the first moment begins.

  2. 02

    During the event

    Timing, atmosphere and people set the rhythm. Everything stays attentive, flexible and connected to what is happening in the room.

  3. 03

    Until the end

    When an evening carries itself, it may continue. The thread remains tangible until the very last moment.

Questions & Answers

Frequently asked questions.

I accompany weddings, private celebrations, corporate events, trade fairs and other special occasions. The right combination of music, hosting or additional services depends on your event.

I am based in the Allgäu. From here I accompany events across southern Germany and, by arrangement, also in Austria, Switzerland and Italy.

Yes. Many events are built from a fitting combination, for example live music and DJ, ceremony and music, or hosting with musical accompaniment. In our first conversation we clarify what suits your programme.

After your enquiry, we talk about the occasion, schedule and your ideas. For booked events you receive access to your personal event portal, where arrangements, files, timeline and important details can be organised centrally.

For popular dates, an early enquiry is helpful. Short-notice bookings are possible if the date is still available. A non-binding enquiry quickly gives you clarity.

Events need room to move. Changes can be coordinated beforehand through the event portal and handled flexibly on the day. The important thing is a clear framework that still leaves space for the moment.

No. The medieval character is the frame, but much of the humour comes from the playful contrast between old language, modern situations and the people in the room. That makes the show work for medieval markets as well as weddings, corporate events, family celebrations and audiences who simply want something unusual.

In principle, from 0 to 99+. The humour can be hearty and playful, but it stays friendly and at eye level. Depending on the event, the programme can focus more on children, adults or a mixed audience.

The KinderRitterTurnier is an interactive theatre show for children, not an activity station. Children become the main characters of the story, while adults are also charmingly involved. This mix is what makes the format fun for the whole audience.

Yes, if there are enough children and an audience that supports the show. The format can work in smaller settings, but it remains a performance with a shared beginning, middle and end, not a walk-up station where children simply try things out.

Music, live vocals and comedy usually balance each other. The songs are often funny themselves, with spoken introductions, interaction and spontaneous moments around them. If the event needs a different focus, the balance can be adjusted.

Yes. Audience interaction is central to the show, both in stage programmes and in smaller formats. Guests may be brought into scenes, songs or playful tasks, always respectfully and with a wink. The goal is shared laughter, not embarrassing anyone.

Absolutely. Barde Barlhow can become a special surprise at a wedding party game, whether or not the wedding itself has a medieval theme. Music, comedy and guest participation create a moment that feels different from a typical wedding programme point.

Yes. The show works in a corner at a smaller celebration as well as on a proper stage in front of several hundred people. Stage size, timing, sound and content are adapted to the setting.

Yes. Length, content, references to the occasion, companies, people or themes can be adapted in advance. The result remains a live show with room for spontaneity, but it fits the event and the audience.
