Henning Wehn : No Surrender

The Acorn, Parade Street, Penzance

<B>Henning Wehn : <I>No Surrender</I></B>

Date: Thursday 29th March 2012
Time: 20:00

Henning Wehn is The German Comedy Ambassador to the United Kingdom. 

 
This is not the easiest of jobs because Germans allegedly do not have a sense of humour. 
Henning does not find that funny.
 
He took office in October 2003 after watching an open mic night that left him convinced that he would do better.   
 
Wehn has been performing as the self-styled 'German Comedy Ambassador' ever since. 
 
He regularly appears with fellow German performer Otto Kuhnle, and their show 1000 Years of German Humour was nominated for the Barry Award at the 2009 Melbourne Comedy Festival. Wehn also regularly supports Stewart Lee on his tours. 
 
His "beautifully crafted diatribes" (Time Out) are delivered with a passion that seems all too real and his material covers topics from football to the price of second-hand shoes, what the Germans think of our beloved 'Allo 'Allo series, to why humour is overrated and stand-up comedy pointless.
 
"Who said Germans have no sense of humour? Gloriously unreconstructed comedy" Guardian
 
"Glory lies ahead"  Time Out 
 
"Ja. Ja. Das ist gut." Max Mosley
