Quirks in the collective personalities of
nations are a rich vein of humour for comedians and the much travelled Paco
Erhard is in a better position to exploit this than most. Americans are lousy
at geography, the Spanish are a tad too laid back, and the Bavarians don't like
to be thought of as German. Not so much a 5 step guide to being German but more
of a defence/explanation of why Germans are the way they are, this funny and
entertaining show has a serious point to make about cultural differences. If
only political leaders might adopt the comedian's realistic view that none of
us are normal.....certainly not Germans. Yes Erhard gets good mileage from
Germany's past (Nazism, etc) but it's from the perspective of a generation who
had no part in it and yet are held to account for Germany's past sins. Sounds
heavy but it's not. Erhard's beguiling charm has us all laughing at ourselves,
but mostly at Germans!
