From the Allgäu farm to the Olympus of cabaret: Maxi Schafroth has made it. As a Lenten preacher on the Nockherberg, he looks for something that unites even in anger: “I just don’t give up on the fact that I think people are good.”
Maxi Schafroth springs onto the stage, wearing dark trousers, a light shirt, his curly hair under a traditional hat, and in the lodenjanker-fidelity style of a Musikantenstadl presenter he rejoices: “Dear ladies and gentlemen, first of all a very warm greeting, we have guests of honor, We have special guests,” many from out of town, the people from the Oberallgäu tourism association, the tour group from Altötting and so on. “I would like to warmly welcome you to our Christian social autumn reception here in Schwabing. It will be a hometown evening” – and that means: There will be an agricultural machinery demonstration outside, Baywa is setting everything up, deliberately for the people of Schwabing, because the people of Schwabing are close to their homeland, is down-to-earth, drives an off-road vehicle.
