Lesung mit Lara Ermer - 05.11.2025
Lara Ermer
Lara Ermer (27) is an author, presenter, and comedian. With lots of humor, she makes complex topics readily accessible. Her clear perspective on people and her passion for questioning them were learned during her psychology studies. Instead of continuing down the career path to become a psychologist, she chose to fully shift her talent to the stage rather than the therapist's couch after completing her bachelor's degree. Ermer's first book, "An Open Book - On Ideal Bodies, Perfect Sex, and Other Myths," was published in 2021 and became a surprise success. In 2024, she achieved a well-received social media hit on the topic of dick pics alongside entertainer Bodo Wartke. Lara Ermer regularly appears on TV and radio, as well as in podcasts and other online formats. For her work, she was awarded the German Cabaret Promotion Prize in 2024.
Everyone Against Everyone - What Psychology Knows About Political Correctness, Conspiracy Theories, and Other Trigger Points
Have you argued today? No? Then it’s about time! Comedian and psychology nerd Lara Ermer wants to restore our enjoyment of arguing and explode current debates with arguments from 198 psychological studies. Conflicts are constantly arising, the world has become somewhat restless, and suddenly you find yourself not getting along with your best friend or Aunt Susanne anymore? Lara Ermer advises: Please don’t bury your head in the sand, but rather – charge full steam ahead into the next argument! Suppressed anger is proven to be unhealthy for us; a little clash can serve as a release valve. And if we’re going to dive into the arena, why not also have a point? That’s why Lara Ermer focuses on the power of facts and psychological studies, providing you with the killer arguments: Society is drifting apart completely, and polarization is greater than ever? Well, actually it’s not. A large portion of people still align themselves with “middle” positions. The more extreme fringes on the left and right remain in the minority – they just argue so loudly that they can hardly be ignored. Perhaps we shouldn’t concede the field to them without a fight, and at the same time, do something for our mental health. Moreover, we learn in this book that expressing oneself politically correctly is incredibly exhausting, but politically correct language in the workplace promotes creativity and innovation for the company. And we discover why conspiracy theories that we concoct ourselves are particularly seductive. In "Everyone Against Everyone", we get killer arguments and psychological facts that help us survive the next family gathering, watch the news without an exploding pulse, and simply go through life more calmly. An entertaining communication aid at its finest. Exciting perspectives. Lots of fun and humor.

Lara Ermer
Lara Ermer (27) is an author, presenter, and comedienne. With a lot of humor, she makes complex topics accessible with precision. The artist learned her clear view of people and her passion for questioning them during her psychology studies. However, instead of continuing her career path as a psychologist, she preferred to fully shift her talent to the stage rather than the therapy couch after her bachelor's degree. Ermer's first book, *An Open Book – On Ideal Bodies, Perfect Sex, and Other Myths*, was published in 2021 and became a surprise success. In 2024, she achieved a highly-publicized social media hit on the topic of dick pics together with entertainer Bodo Wartke. Lara Ermer can be regularly seen on TV, radio, as well as in podcasts and other online formats. For her work, she was awarded the German Cabaret Promotion Prize 2024, among others.
