Bizarre comedy The 50 Dollar Dictator” conquers St. Pauli!
From September 12, 2025, the Schmidt Theater in St. Pauli will be adding an exciting new addition to its program: the premiere of the amusing play “The 50 Dollar Dictator” by Tommy Jaud and Moritz Netenjakob. Directed by Corny Littmann, the play will premiere at 7 p.m. It promises to draw viewers into the action with complex themes and surprising twists as it presents an absurd family comedy set in the throes of politics and personal conflict. Süderelbe24 reports that The plot revolves around Wohambe Wahumbe, the autocrat from the fictional Malumbo, who is looking for accommodation with Cornelius von der Waidt, a former protester.
In an exciting plot, the story develops around culture shock and family tensions. Because Cornelius once protested against Wohambe at the demonstration with the motto “No bed for dictators”. Now he realizes that reality is often stranger than fiction, because Wohambe moves in with him and the unexpected constellation brings with it some difficulties. Tivoli.de explains that the dictator wants to thank his host for sponsoring a child and his military career, which leads to further turmoil - including an ambassador, an arms dealer and, last but not least, an accidental drone attack by Wohambe's daughter. Here worlds collide and the comedy emerges from this chaotic situation.
A varied program in September
However, the premiere is only the start of an exciting September program at the Schmidt Theater and Schmidt's Tivoli. On September 14, 2025, another treat will be offered with “Peter and the Wolf of St. Pauli”, also at 7 p.m. A surprise concert with Omer Meir Wellber and Martin Lingnau, known as “IM.PRO.LOG” and combining classical music with neighborhood flair, is also planned.
