Under the motto "cult and entertainment", the venue on Spielbudenplatz is dedicated to fabulous music revues and musicals in addition to shrill neighborhood theater.
Gifted artists such as Helge Schneider, Georgette Dee and Tim Fischer attract audiences in droves under the blue dome of the plush theater hall.
The theater became known throughout Germany between 1990 and 1993, when the "Schmidt-Mitternachtsshow" - with theater founder Corny Littman as Mr. Schmidt, Ernie Reinhardt as Lilo Wanders and Jutta Wübbe as Mrs. Jaschke - also thrilled television audiences in over 30 broadcasts.
In 1991, the "Schmidt-Mitternachtsshow" was awarded the silver Adolf Grimme Prize in the entertainment category.
In 1999, Corny Littmann, who is credited with making the Reeperbahn culturally accessible again and who now manages two theaters, several restaurants and 360 employees, was awarded the title of "Hamburg Entrepreneur of the Year". His comment: "I see the award as a symbolic peace pipe, which I am very happy to smoke with the 'Hamburg pepper sacks'." As president of FC St. Pauli, Littmann has now taken on an additional "venue".
