Personal highlights

  1. Schnitzelbangg: troubadour like poets, who sing political satire
  2. Helge: local slang for a poster with a drawing to support the satire
  3. Locations: they visit many restaurants and basements to perform their art
  4. Satire: most of the poems have a double meaning and are subtly cynical
  5. Events: during Carnival Basel, you can buy tickets for a full evening show
