Dirk-Rinck-Theater im Filmhaus

The Dirk-Rinck-Theater im Filmhaus in Cologne stands as a vibrant hub for travesty entertainment and cultural diversity. Named after co-founder Dirk Rinck, who championed the open-stage concept, it hosts regular shows blending travesty, comedy, singing, and drag performances. The atmosphere is welcoming and festive, featuring a mix of classic travesty, cabaret, magic, and trashy humor that transports audiences into a world of creativity and fun.

Housed in the Filmhaus studio on Maybachstraße, it creates a space where talents from all walks shine. Visitors enjoy Sunday performances with live acts from both professionals and emerging stars showcasing their programs. The standout feature is its openness: anyone with travesty, comedy, or singing skills can apply to perform. This approach fosters a unique community, making the theater a highlight of Cologne's cultural scene, perfect for fans of queer arts and entertaining evenings.
