Johann König, the cheerful yet melancholic comedian from Cologne, is going on tour again. And he's more hopeful, cheerful, and passionate than ever before!
His new live show is an unvarnished reflection of his home life, and we know that Johann comes from a difficult background. His cat, Hekto-Pascal, is overweight; his wife suffers from an intolerance to hunger; and all three of their children are still of school age. But the king among the Johanns is a master at turning the resulting family madness on its head—turning it into the exact opposite: into wise, zany, and wonderful waves of words.
Into radiant songs and golden poems.
His method is no secret. Like lightning, this lucky fellow rubs wit and intelligence together, igniting a thunderous fireworks display of synapses that continues to flicker and spark for days afterward. He benefits from his devoted modesty and selfless dedication to his audience. Instead of ascending the throne himself, he crowns the fun. Whatever. Johann König’s humor is like whipped cream on a freshly tapped Pilsner. Somewhat treacherous, but always funny. And everyone can feel like a king—you’ll find out exactly how in “Heute ein König.”
