Die Rotten Punkte…The Best Band in the World

Die Rotten Punkte—MTC Mainstage

They may not be the best band in the world, but they must be the funniest. We have seen them every year, and their zany antics and hilarious sibling rivalry always provide fresh fun.

Drummer Astrid Rot, zaftig, to put it mildly, clambers up and down the aisles, lap dances on the edge of theatre seats, which is very acrobatic and impressive on its own, leaps on and off the stage, all the while keeping her brother on a very tight leash.

Astrid always picks some poor male to be her “Second Best Friend” and direct this extremely sexual song towards him.

Otto, known for his rock ‘n roll high kicks and guitar playing, plays the shy innocent to Astrid’s brazen sexuality. She pretends to be jealous when Otto receives the prettiest pair of pink panties thrown at him from one of his fans. Their repartee and improvisation are always rapid fire and very clever. These are two very talented, professional performers who will never disappoint. We wouldn’t miss them.

Otto is also in the same venue in The Orchid and the Crow, which I am looking forward to seeing. It should be great. He’s so talented, it will be interesting to see what else he can do!
