Oh, the joy - there's a German stand-up duo at Edinburgh this year for the Festival.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7577301.stm

I'm completely in favour of this. It sounds a wonderful performance.

"They say we have no sense of humour," adds Wehn. "They ask if the show starts on time. Oh, and they say, 'You bombed my chip shop'". German people do not realise such stereotypes exist, he says.

Kuehnle was shortlisted for the inaugural Malcolm Hardee Award for a slapstick moment in which his trousers drop as he plays the flute on stage. "I am nominated for letting down my trousers. It is good to integrate my hobby and my profession".

I saw this show yesterday. While stand-up isn't my thing they were pretty good - except when his kegs fell down - that was as pointless as the English bedroom farces.

WOO HOO!!, what a ride!!!"

The ones I know have a wicked soh! My mate Ina's mum came over and she brought her to meet me and she nearly cried when she learned my cat was called Smelly.:wah:

One day maybe we'll all stop demonising the chap and then we'll be able to discuss what happened with more insight.

Of course youre right.

After that we can discuss why Jeffrey Dahmer cut people up into little pieces then ate them with rice.
