Johann König

Johann König - Anyone who makes plans will be laughed at!

Johann König was never really drawn to the stage. He wanted to be a teacher. A sports teacher for biology and general studies. That was the plan.

But this plan did not work out. After 19 semesters, the audience forced him with their affection and their money to devote himself entirely to humour. This led him straight onto the slippery slope of cultivated evening entertainment, from which there is no turning back. And today? Today he laughs about it - just like the audience laughs about him. The guy, the depressive mood cannon, is now fifty years old.

Many people look younger at 50, but feel older. The opposite is true for the king. At 50, many people think they have to change everything.

Or gendernise everything. Johann makes everything new AND stays true to himself. Many people start drinking eggnog at this age. Johann has chickens.

In his new programme, he poses the pressing questions of our time: Does the house really get smaller when the children get bigger? How do you genderise an abandoned ladies' bicycle? Does the speed limit also apply to handkerchiefs? And are we still allowed to say "what can we actually say?"? The best long-term plans are those that are short-term.

The plan should be not to make any more plans. Except, of course, a comprehensive tour plan.
