Maxi Gstettenbauer - KOMPLETT ABSURD

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

Many see satire as a fine blade, but he reaches for the axe. Why bother with a foil when a chainsaw does the job just as well?

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 with surgical precision. So effectively, in fact, that you start wondering whether white men should just be banned outright. Gstettenbauer doesn't wait for permission - he grants it to himself, naturally with his wife's sign-off.

KOMPLETT ABSURD is the cathartic roundhouse kick German comedy needed. Hard gags, relentless pace - straight from real life. Everyone who deserves it gets hit. And it's so much easier to dish it out when you're the biggest joke in the room.
