The One True Fake Show: When Health Myths Sweat on Stage

Who wins the game of health myths, fakes, and prejudices? On Saturday, November 7, 2026, the Knowledge Workshop Bielefeld will transform into an interactive live game show where the audience separates facts from cleverly packaged nonsense. The third edition of the Fake Show combines science, stand-up atmosphere, quiz excitement, and plenty of audience reaction.

Dr. Google vs. Common Sense

Nutrition tips from social networks, cherished health wisdoms, and surprisingly stubborn prejudices will be put to the test. What sounds plausible but is entirely made up? Which claim passes the fact-check? The audience decides live and experiences a laughter experience that puts their own knowledge to the test.

With Smartphone and Instinct to the Fake Show Champion

The game principle is reminiscent of a quiz show but works much more interactively: With their smartphones, the visitors submit their answers directly from the hall. Each round provides new punchlines, surprising twists, and the thrilling question of who is right about the next health myth. Those who thought science could do without timing will experience the opposite here.

Moderation with Tempo, Timing, and Stage Presence

Nele Kießling and Marvin Meinold will guide the evening, combining precise timing with relaxed interaction. On stage, three researchers from Bielefeld will contextualize the questions: Prof. Petra Kolip researches prevention and health promotion, Prof. Sabine Oertelt-Prigione is an internist and professor of gender-sensitive medicine, and Prof. Björn Spittau teaches anatomy and cell biology.

Comedy Atmosphere Meets Science

The Fake Show transforms dry enlightenment into a stage experience with quiz excitement, surprising facts, and communal guessing. The audience is not just in the spectator area but becomes part of the dramaturgy. Between concentrated pondering, spontaneous laughter, and cheers over correct answers, a comedy atmosphere emerges where learning suddenly becomes suspiciously fun.

The Fake Show delivers the perfect stage evening: entertaining, scientifically grounded, and with enough space for the realization that even one's favorite myth can be wrong.
