Henning Wehn is a comedian also known as The German Comedy Ambassador to the United Kingdom which it is said, is not the easiest of jobs because Germans allegedly do not have a sense of humour. Henning does not find that funny.
He took office in October 2003 after watching an open mic night that left him convinced that he wouldn’t be all that much worse. Henning Wehn has been performing as the self-styled ‘German Comedy Ambassador’ ever since.
Whilst touring on his own most of the time, Henning Wehn also occasionally appears with his countryman Otto Kuhnle. Their show, 1000 Years of German Humour was nominated for the Barry Award at the Melbourne Comedy Festival.
Henning Wehn appeared again at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 with his comedy show It’ll All Come Out In The Wash. 2024 sees Henning on tour with a new show called Acid Wehn. Yes, he’ll be talking about Climate Change and what it’s doing, or not doing to our weather. Click the link for tickets and information.
Opinion on Henning Wehn’s stand-up is divided. Whilst Henning sees himself as one of Britain’s foremost social commentators, everybody else describes him as ‘that German bloke’. However someone on Twitter also said “He’s German but he means well“.
Henning Wehn’s most recent television appearances include Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You and Would I Lie To You. On radio he’s also been on Fighting Talk for BBC Radio 5 Live and The Unbelievable Truth on Radio 4.
