The Tiny T. Rex of Comedy

I get a lot of e-mails from comedians who want to perform on the UCBT stage.

Werner Koczwara is one of those comedians.

As you may be able to tell from the tiny words in the pic above - Werner is a comedian specializing in "schnell, frech, intelligent und garantiert rabenschwarz," which - honestly - is something we've been lacking at UCBT.

Color me intrigued! And imagine my excitment as I read the e-mail Werner sent detailing what he'd like to do at UCBT.

Hallo,

I am a German comedian and have a rather unusual question:

Would your theatre be interested in performing German comedy? First of all: there is a German humor. It really exists. What I am doing is a kind of humor which I think will also work in the US, especially in NY. It’s German law-humor.

Holy Rabenschwarz! Werner doesn't just want to do German humor! He wants to do German LAW-humor!

And I know what you're thinking. "Is Werner saying he tells lawyer jokes?"
NO! Werner is saying he tells GERMAN lawyer jokes.

Werner continues:

I would like to bring to the NY-audience the most fascinating aspects on German law. In english, off course. And presented with a very black humor. My kind of comedy isn’t hard to describe, it’s some kind of Woody Allen talking about German law (please don‘t tell this to Woody Allen).

Honestly I was five digits into Woody's phone number before that parenthetical stopped me in my tracks. Touche, Werner Koczwara.

But I know what you're thinking. "Didn't Werner say his comedy was not hard to describe and then subsequently describe it in the bizarrest way possible?"

NO! Werner is not saying he's like Woody Allen. He is like "some kind of Woody Allen."

Which kind? The kind that talks about German law (i.e. your favorite kind).

More:

My fridge is full and my chimney smokes, so there’s no need for me to earn a fortune in NY, I would just be interested in performing in the US.

Let me know your opinion!

Sincerly,
Werner Koczwara

Of course, some things get lost in the translation. If you're not sure what Werner is talking about here, I'll tell you - "Let me know your opinion!" is roughly the German equivalent to the English "Git-R-Dun!"
