Bernd Gieseking: "Find yourself!"
Cabaret into the land of the reindeer A cabaret evening as a road trip: With his parents Ilse and Hermann in the back seat, Bernd Gieseking sets off for Finland to visit his brother, who has fallen in love with a Finnish woman, in his new home. Because the native East Westphalians are very good at one thing above all else with the Finns: keeping silent together. But who are the people there? Eccentric loners? Drinking and singing? And why do the Finns speak such a devilishly difficult language? In his program "Finne Dich Selbst!" Bernd Gieseking presents a crash course in sauna and lakes, vodka and forest, elves and moose. Always on board: Gieseking's rousing parents with a tone of voice after many decades of marriage that in other parts of the country would give grounds for divorce more than once. And it's as bizarre as everyday life, so ludicrous and beautiful that you could cry with laughter: 3,800 km of pure fun! Bernd Gieseking is considered the king of annual reviews and has been touring successfully with his stage programmes throughout Germany for 30 years now. He is known to his loyal readership either as a taz columnist or as a Finland connoisseur or both, and in his weekly radio show Klingeling on hr 1 he is a competent and empathetic interlocutor for the Queen, Donald Trump, Karl Lagerfeld and even God. His books "Finne Dich Selbst!" and "Das kuriose Finnland-Buch" as well as "Gefühlte Dreißig - ein Hoffnungskabarett für Männer um die Fünfzig" and "Früher hab' ich nur mein Motorrad gepflegt" (all published by Fischer Verlag) reach a large audience, and the cabaret programs of the same name are masterpieces of comedy. In autumn 2019 his latest volume of stories "Ja klar, ich bin schuld!" was published by Lappan Verlag.
