Heinrich Del Core - Yippee, My Wife Is Becoming a Grandma!
Kulturhalle Remchingen, Germany
32 €
When Heinrich Del Core takes the stage in his red shoes and tells stories from his everyday life, you want to shout: "No way! That never happened - he made it all up!" But every single one of these situations, which have us laughing in disbelief, he actually lived through himself. Heinrich Del Core is a magnet for bizarre everyday moments, which he then delivers with an irresistibly mischievous charm.
And now the moment has arrived. Heinrich is becoming a grandpa - and more importantly, his wife is becoming a grandma! She has been looking forward to this for so long!
The new situation turns everything upside down. Overnight, Del Core's world is a different place. He buys a pram that costs as much as a moped used to, or a Thermomix today. He downloads baby apps for his wife and bakes coffee-cake for family get-togethers.
Does "grandpa" already sound old to Heinrich? He definitely still feels younger - except in the mornings when he gets up. His joints make some interesting noises then... But his wife always cheers him up: "You're still in great shape". She has no such worries herself. She says being a grandma is like being a mum - just the deluxe version.
His wife has never really worried about getting older anyway. Once she left the kids a note: "Gone to the cemetery". And Heinrich added underneath: "But we'll be back".
Then there are weddings to celebrate - two of them. Heinrich gains a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law. And inevitably, one of the weddings is vegan.
Heinrich wonders: who finds a vegan wedding a nightmare? A confirmed bachelor. Is everything made of cheese, or do you have to go without butter? Can you even ask whether a sausage has two ends?
And there are more stories to come - because at Heinrich's place, the holidays are just around the corner again...
