1989

1989 – With Monty Arnold in the Mainzer Unterhaus. I accompany him on many tours through Germany and play with him on the 30th birthday of famous German cartoonist Ralf König in Cologne, the only straight guy among 300 gays. Our comedian and artistic highlight is the live synchronization of four short movies from Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in the tradition of the German TV-Series Väter der Klamotte: Monty as narrator, speaker of all characters and sound maker; me on the piano. We play the show at all big cinemas in Hamburg and even at one open air event at the mayor hall square. It rains with a blowing gale, but we still play - for around ten spectators wrapped in blankets and raincoats.
