 Would you like to be exposed to some humour ... that is different, fresh and extremely topical ... and coming from Germany?

They say we haven't got a sense of humour! It may be true. But we  still laugh a lot.

Manfred Tamm 
lives in modern Germany and
knows exactly what modern
Germany is like these days. He is
convinced that the old clichés
are dead and that it’s time for new
ones. Germany has changed and
so have the topics. Self-deprication
is out and the 21st century German
does have a sense of humour ... 
although often at his own expense.
Don’t ask for his personal opinion!! He has not got any, like almost all Germans these days. He knows he MUST BE politically correct in post-war Europe. And he is! In public!
He’s absolutely sure that the old stereotypes do not apply to him
any more.
And they don’t – at first sight.    

Manfred in private is a teacher of English and Geography, who loves British humour, but also appreciates modern German comedy and cabaret. His English is of course almost perfect, but he can also put on a strong "Sherman eccent iff ze British fill more et ease viz it". 

He is convinced that humour could unite the world. That is why one of his recent seminars for a management consultancy was called: Humour as a strategy for solving international communication problems in business.

Manfred used to play musical and drama or sing rock ‘n’ roll on stage. Now he regularly performs comedy and cabaret in Germany, mostly around Münster, the city where he lives and works. He has also performed on British stages. Reactions at the Komedia in Brighton, the Red Rose Comedy Club and the Plough Inn in London showed that the jokes were unfamiliar and left the audience with an unusual kind of hilarity.
