Heinz Strunk
Organiser ROXY gGmbH:
Others take a break, I keep going!
Superhuman performance? Magic? Heinz Strunk follows up. Again. Log after log after log, the Hamburg literature and humor gladiator piles up a show Easter fire until it threatens to go up in flames itself; a firecracker filled to the brim with black powder, which hardcore fans have lit on both sides at the same time. Burn, Heinzer, Burn!
After the series blockbuster Last Exit Schinkenstraße (Prime Video) and the high-end novel Zauberberg 2, the great writer is now throwing a triple whammy: the short story collection Kein Geld kein Glu?ck kein Sprit (from zero to 3 in the SPIEGEL bestseller list), flanked by the all-ages picture book Graf Fauchi und das verschwundene Gebiss and the life-help calendar Maximize your life. He also carries a whole arsenal of instruments (bells, flute, accordion) and performs his greatest hits unplugged. The premium comedian also sprinkles his enchanted audience with a pinch of smiles from time to time, because, as Strunk says: "Whenever you laugh, a problem dies somewhere."
Concerned fans ask why the over-sixty man doesn't take a break, a sabbatical year, or at least a sabbatical quarter. Three months of just drooling, that's not for me," says the trained woodwind player indignantly, adding: "Besides, the harvest has to come off the stalk. Otherwise it rots". So it's ALL IN for "Heinzchenklein" once again.
His trademark: Plain text! His motto: Unbarockbar! His call to the sympathizers: Don't miss out on your life, line my path! Where his contemporaries are dawning towards retirement, the living legend (perhaps for the last time?!?) comes shooting out of the turbo lag at warp speed. Heinz Strunk, with a bright red head and an exhausted voice, wildly associates: "What am I supposed to do in early retirement? It's as dead as the air between my ass and my underpants. There's no point in oiling my hump more than three times a day. After all, I still feel like I'm 13, but with an extra 50 years of life experience. So I'll keep going until I fall off the pole, check something. Better tired than broke!"
We get it, master!
