Program

The cabaret artist takes up everyday situations in a satirical way and exaggerates typical social behaviour. Her most popular topic is the relationship between men and women. She often slips into the role of the fictitious Sauerland housewife "Mia Mittelkötter", [5] who reveals her (sometimes only superficially) simple wisdom. Some press reviews have called Lioba Albus a "volcano of words".

Solo programs:

Lioba Albus also performed with the cabaret artist Martin Herrmann (alias "Der Frauenflüsterer"), with the program Pottsau trifft Frauenflüsterer, with Norbert Alich in the program Was Gott getrennt.... She also appears repeatedly with Bruno Knust and the program Günna trifft Mia unter anderem at Theater Olpketal and at RuhrHOCHdeutsch.

Kabarett is satirical revue, a form of cabaret which developed in France by Rodolphe Salis in 1881 as the cabaret artistique. It was named Le Chat Noir and was centered on political events and satire. It later inspired creation of Kabarett venues in Germany from 1901, with the creation of Berlin's Überbrettl venue and in Austria with the creation of the Jung-Wiener Theater zum lieben Augustin housed in the Theater an der Wien. By the Weimar era in the mid-1920s it was characterized by political satire and gallows humor. It shared the characteristic atmosphere of intimacy with the French cabaret from which it was imported, but the gallows humor was a distinct German aspect.
