Private Notes
Surely the German Comedy Ambassador will never find a more subtle show title than last year's My Struggle. Well, he'll die trying. Come along. Or else. Deutschland uber alles! Since last year, Henning has been heard numerous times on BBC Radio 4's The Unbelievable Truth, Act Your Age, The News Quiz, Now Show and BBC Radio 5 Live's Fighting Talk. 'Side-splittingly funny' ★★★★★ (Scotsman), 'Should be on everyone's Fringe must-see list' ★★★★★ (Daily Dust), 'Brilliant' ★★★★★ (Chortle.co.uk), 'A vulnerable man grappling with a language that isn't his own' (Guardian)
Henning Wehn (the self-appointed German Comedy Ambassador to the United Kingdom) has spent over ten years living in the UK and feels he's in a good position to share his views on Britain and its unique foibles. With a tongue sharper than a rapier sword, and searing Teutonic honesty, he shares his thoughts on what it is to be British.
Taking a look at various aspects of British life over the next six weeks - politics, languages, sport, humour, shopping - he begins with the very British subject of class.
Each week he's joined by his musical companion Otto Kuhnle - the Fatherland's foremost Yodelmeister - and a different guest. These will include Andy Hamilton; Laurence Llewelyn Bowen; Graham Taylor; language expert Henry Hitchings and the ex-football mascot and Mayor of Hartlepool Stuart Drummond.
Star of QI, Live At The Apollo and Have I Got News For You, German Comedy Ambassador Henning Wehn gives a hilarious outsider’s view on modern British life compared to his home country. Be it gently mocking this nation’s obsession with the housing market or our tendency to laugh off personal failure, Henning is one of the funniest and most popular comedians around. And yes, there might be just the odd mention of the World Cup. Packed with laughs from start to finish, it’s Wunderbar.
Live performance from German comedian Henning Wehn in which he discusses Britain's decision to leave the EU and tackles the hot-button topic of immigration.
