TV (linear) Market: Daniela Katzenberger to Debut as Comedienne
German TV personality Daniela Katzenberger will make her comedy stage debut with a solo program titled "Katzenklappe," premiering August 29, 2026 at the NightWash Club in Cologne. The autobiographical show — covering her life and personal highs and lows — is being mounted by EndemolShine Germany and Banijay Germany together with producer Rainer Laux and Rainer Laux Productions. The live performance and a corresponding TV episode are produced for broadcaster Vox and are expected to be integrated into new episodes of Katzenberger's long-running docu-soap later in 2026. Banijay announced the premiere and said ticket presales will begin shortly. The docu-soap, on air since 2015, saw its most recent season (Nov–Dec 2025) reach a preliminary 640,000 viewers and a 14–49 market share decline from 7.2% to 6.1%.
Entertainment programming announcement with limited, local impact on broadcaster inventory and audience metrics; not industry-shifting for AdTech/MarTech.
