The Bavarian cabaret artist and actress Monika Gruber has made a name for herself in the past as a rough actress who likes to team up with her audience against the “idiots”. Who exactly that is supposed to be is as little concrete as it is unmistakable: in this very German style of popular comedy, the idiots are of course everyone except Monika Gruber and her fans, but above all “green heat pump fetishists” and “deluded woke activists” of all kinds. Gruber herself, on the other hand, sees herself as the guardian of the grail of common sense and is undoubtedly anything but alone: in 2020 she succeeded with “And redeem us from the stupid – from human sense in hysterical times”, which she published together with the journalist and former editor-in-chief of the Nürnberger Abendzeitung , Andreas Hock, wrote, a bestseller. The book sold several hundred thousand copies.
