The Dresden cabaret Breschke & Schuch is a cabaret in Dresden, where the curtain opened for the first time on December 1, 1998. It is located on the edge of the Wilsdruffer Vorstadt in the former Saxon State Printing Office at Wettiner Platz (entrance Jahnstraße) opposite Dresden Mitte station and has a capacity of just under 200 seats. Approximately 30,000 guests attend the approximately 300 performances annually. Excursions and guest performances are also included. Monika Breschke is the first director of the house, and Thomas Schuch (*1959 in Berlin), is the second director and actor, while Manfred Breschke (*1952 in Ortrand) serves as artistic director and actor. All three are the shareholders of the house, which operates as a non-profit and is entirely self-sustaining. Since 2015, the cabaret has been receiving an institutional grant of €15,000 annually from the state capital, Dresden.

The cabaret was awarded the East German Cabaret Prize in 2001 for the best ensemble performance. With his first solo cabaret "Schuch matt," Thomas Schuch was nominated for the cabaret award "Der Rostocker Koggenzieher" in 2008.

The two cabaret artists, Manfred Breschke and Thomas Schuch, performed for years at the renowned Dresden cabaret theater Die Herkuleskeule before opening their own cabaret to provide a platform for their own texts. They perform up to six times per week on stage. Additionally, changing exhibitions can be seen in the auditorium and foyer.

Even the floods in August 2002, first the Weißeritz flood, and a few days later the Elbe flood, did not harm the stage. Despite a water level of 1.20m, the cabaret was able to reopen in the same year. The most successful program every year is the "Striezelmarktwirtschaft" during the Advent season (premiere before the Day of Repentance and Prayer), which is a current satirical review focusing on special events of the past months. From here, visitors can conveniently reach the oldest Christmas market in Germany, the Striezelmarkt.

Every early March, the cabaret artists, together with the SPD district Elbe-Röder, commemorates the recurrence of the first book burning in Germany in 1933 on Wettiner Platz in Dresden at the present-day venue of the cabaret.
