In The Rainbow Of Happiness, I Am Beige

  • From sarcastic to cynical: new humorous short stories by theatre poet and cabaret artist Patrick Salmen
  • On tour again from 22nd March 2022

Word acrobat Patrick Salmen dismantles the new happiness - you are guaranteed to be crying happy tears!

   

As a satirist, cabaret artist and theatre poet, Patrick Salmen fortunately doesn’t have to like people, not even himself. It makes his short stories about various attempts to finally derive something positive from the absurdities of the daily grind all the more funny. Ultimately, in his mid- thirties Patrick Salmen is still too young to be a grumpy early pensioner sitting on the bench observing life. So why not go all out for the tiny house with hygge decoration or blueberry porridge with coconut water, yoga and a whole load of mindfulness? For if you love yourself, you can love the whole world! Or you can run hysterically for the emergency exit.
