Lachmesse Leipzig

35th Edition 2025

In October/November 2025, the 35th Lachmesse once again transformed Leipzig's cabaret stages into the heart of German-speaking performance art. Over 90 ensembles from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland offered eight days of programming with premieres, guest performances, and special formats.

The opening at academixer with “Die Wörter der Sachsen” traditionally set the humorous Saxon tone, the awarding of the Leipziger Löwenzahn to Michael Krebs honored an exceptional cabaret year, and subsequent days featured premieres of new shows and performances by established artists.
