Henning performs at Brighton’s Komedia on April 30 (tickets on 0845 293 8480).

Spokeswoman Naomi Corrin said: “Cumbernauld, Cockermouth, Croydon…life as German Comedy Ambassador is far from glamorous. In fact, it is a right old struggle.

“But Henning Wehn makes it look easy. Join him for exactly one hour of meticulously-planned and perfectly-executed Teutonic jolliness, covering topics as diverse as football and the war.

“2010 marked Henning’s Edinburgh solo debut with My Struggle. For the last four years he has enjoyed critical success and three Fringe sell-outs with Otto Kuhnle in Abracadabra – German Humour Goes Global, 1000 Years of German Humour, A Beginner’s Guide To German Humour and Four World Cups and One World Pope.”
