Helge Thun - "Zickzack zum Zenit"

If there were a decathlon of small-scale performance art, Helge Thun would probably be the Olympic champion, if not the regional champion. As a magician, he has won more awards than he can count. As a poet, he became German team champion in Poetry Slam, and in theatrical improvisation he mastered the craft early on. With the formats "Mit Reim gewinnt", "Comedy Stube", and "Tauschrausch", he created three successful show formats. For 20 years he was the face of one of the most original comedy duos, "Helge and Udo". Television formats, radio columns, books, and various other stage programmes such as "Der Schöne und das Biest" with Heiner Kondschak or "Funny Magic" with Topas are just the beginning.

And all of this just to get to the top in a zigzag on crooked paths! New rhymes, new tricks, and new comedy. Even after 30 years, Helge draws from a full well and continues where his last stage programme "Held der Komik" left off: as a world-renowned local hero, international leader in regional charts, and long-time player with once-good prospects for advancement.

With "Zickzack zum Zenit" he has already reached the last letter of the alphabet, but he is far from exhausted. It is worth seeing for yourself. Best experienced live in the theatre. Where else?
