The best cabaret artists perform their latest programmes. In addition to established stars, the festival now also offers a stage for newcomers. The furious PCCC*, the first politically correct comedy club, has been an integral part of the programme for several years. The festival sees itself as a warm host for artists and guests, a meeting place for satire, criticism and entertainment. This year&#8217;s MotzART FESTIVAL offers an intensive week of cabaret with seven Salzburg premieres: Florian Scheuba counters the absurdities of the present with humour and proves that laughter is the best form of self-defence. We eagerly await Christian Dolezal&#8217;s second solo cabaret. The sixth Salzburg edition of the PCCC* brings queer cabaret to the city of Mozart. Maria Muhar slides between dark humour and existential urgency in a ludicrous reflection on our times. Hosea Ratschiller finds bright words for dark times. Luise Kinseher finally comes solo as \u2018Mary From Bavary\u2019 and \u2018His Severinity\u2019 Severin Groebner combines social criticism with a healthy dose of megalomania to mark his 30th stage anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MotzArt Festival 2026<\/strong><br>17.01.2026 \u2013 24.01.2026<br>ARGEkultur<br>Ulrike-Gschwandtner-Stra\u00dfe 5<br>5020 Salzburg<br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.argekultur.at\">www.argekultur.at<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>17.01.2026 \u2013 24.01.2026 \u2018Entertainment with attitude\u2019 instead of shallow comedy is the motto of the MotzART FESTIVAL.
