Maxi Gstettenbauer - KOMPLETT ABSURD

Comedy has become a minefield. What are we even allowed to laugh at anymore? Enter Maxi Gstettenbauer - the most reliable bomb-disposal expert in the business.

Where others reach for a rapier, he grabs an axe. Why bother with a foil when a chainsaw does the job? With timing that would make a Swiss watch jealous, Gstettenbauer has worked his way up to become one of Germany's top comedians.

Privileged, aggressively heterosexual, and militantly anti-exercise - this dark-humoured family man throttles the nation's diaphragm so expertly that you walk out wondering whether white men should just be banned outright. Gstettenbauer doesn't wait for permission; he grants it to himself - with his wife's approval, naturally.

KOMPLETT ABSURD: hard-hitting gags, relentless pace, straight from real life. It's much easier to dish it out when you're the biggest joke in the room.
