The Maybe Talent Show
, Nachtbühne
Sprache: English

Come on stage and present things you are very bad in. Or just mediocre. Get raging applause and love from the audience!
Hosted by the drag-quings Norman Müller-Schmitz and James Bonne d'Age (the most rising stars in Hamburgs Drag Scene) this open stage celebrates trying, failing and the beauty of discovering hidden Talents together, when awesome cuties from the audience enter the stage - to try something they have absolutely no experience in.
Die beste Erfindung seit geschnitten Brot!


The show is an open format that gives people the space to show themselves, be visible and make themselves vulnerable. We bring a queer format that celebrates people for simply being humans to Hamburgs neighborhood pubs, autonomous stages and other easily accessible spaces (Yes Gängeviertelgeburtstag und Chaos Communication Congress if we need to drop names) In doing so it's explicitly anti-capitalist, builds communities and unlikely alliances.
No one needs to be useful/productive/kapitalistisch verwertbar to be unapologetically celebrated.

Not just in the hedo-community we applaud the cool things people can do: The big stage is often reserved for outstanding achievements; attention and social credits usually go to those who already have the network and skills. While we consider celebrating success to be absolutely necessary, we see the need to give people space to try things out, to fail publicly without having to be ashamed, and to celebrate Imperfection. Stage presence comes from trying on stage, and the Maybe Talent Show is the place where this is possible for everyone. Inclusive, hilarious and without making fun of anyone. Promise.

He ist he most normal man in the world. Charming and presentable. Warehouse logistics by day, secret drag star by night. Always on a mission to make normality more visible in the world.
Norman Müller-Schmitz is the most rising star in hamburg's drag scene, celebrated drag king since 2023 and winner of everybody's hearts.
