Paco Erhard: 5-Step Guide to Becoming German

Wanna be a German? Of course you do. And now you can as German comedian Paco Erhard teaches you how. Sold out worldwide, this multi-award-winning stand-up comedy show has rave reviews.

Hard-hitting and hilarious, Paco Erhard shows you the real Germany behind the scenes. Experience hysterical dilemmas on the Autobahn, learn the truth about lederhosen, find out how the “no sense of humor” stereotype is both true and not true at all, and come to see: we Germans are not blunt or rude, we just value honestly more highly than other people’s feelings. Understand Germany better! Understand yourself better! And find out why Oma Hilda was always a bit weird.

You will laugh, if you want. Zis not an order.
