An evening full of book love, humor, and queer reading culture in Bayreuth
With Reading is gay – the show, Teresa Reichl and Lena Krebs bring their podcast to the stage of DAS ZENTRUM in Bayreuth. The live show combines book reviews, playful formats, and pointed humor into a literary experience that charges the joy of reading sensually rather than explaining it dryly. The event starts on January 9, 2027, at 7:30 PM, with doors opening at 6:30 PM.

When literature becomes a stage
The evening promises not a classic reading but an author encounter with a performance character. Teresa Reichl, a Germanist, author, and cabaret artist, has long been a distinctive voice in the literary scene with her feminist approach to literature, pop culture, and canon questions. Together with Lena Krebs, she transforms the conversation about books into a lively, approachable format. ([carlsen.de](https://www.carlsen.de/autorin-illustratorin/teresa-reichl))
Between book criticism, play, and verbal wit
The event description announces book reviews “in funny”, recommendations “in passionate”, and games “in bookish”. This is precisely where the special quality of this evening lies: literary criticism is not experienced as academically detached, but as an entertaining, smart, and surprisingly personal cultural format. The show is aimed at everyone who not only wants to read books but also wants to argue, laugh, and rethink them.
