Gerhard Polt and Well Brothers Conclude Touring Era After Decades of Performances

The iconic Bavarian cabaret collaborators cite age and travel fatigue as reasons for ending their touring career while continuing local performances.

Gerhard Polt, 82, and the Well Brothers, all over 65, have announced they will no longer embark on tours after decades of performing together.
Their upcoming show at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt is expected to be Polt's final performance outside of Bavaria.
The Well Brothers aim to continue performing locally and hope to celebrate their 50th stage anniversary in the future.
Stofferl Well reflected on the challenges of extensive travel, noting that the group has collectively traveled millions of kilometers over their touring career.
Well also expressed concerns about global political and cultural trends, using humor to critique consumerism and authoritarian leadership.
