ARTIST PHOTOS AND BIOS

David Cassel - Comedian, Moderator (CAN/AUS/BE/D)

The host for the evening may say something controversial from time to time just to give the audience something to talk about in the bar after the show. With over 25 years of performance experience, David is a triple threat comedian that sings, talks and dances his way into your heart. If you want to hear David talk all you have to do is ask him a question. Called "A Master" by the Limburgs Dagsblad, Maastricht, Holland and "full on high energy stuff" by In Press, Melbourne, Australia, David Cassel will provide the adhesive cement that binds the show together and the solvent to get it out of your clothes later.

Otto Kuhnle - Comedian/Musician (GERMANY) Appearing in Berlin only!!!

Otto Kuhnle, author of the book "I, the joke" and numerous anonymous contact advertisements began his career
classically in a ballet school. His activity as a singing and tap-dancing telegram (bad news department) made him what he is today. Further steps into the social offside were movies with Wim Wenders, the German TV serial "Comedy Factory" and his part in the Comedy-group Trio Blamage.


He explores the shallows of German entertainment and his own bad taste. He dances, sings and plays several
instruments and looks impudently good despite or even because of his old age. Although he had some serious-meant requests of heavy-rich widows, he decided to continue to present the public with his "Blödsinn” ("the art to wash gold from plastic”). Because of his legendary training of pot plants the only thing remaining for the astonished spectator is to say “Mr. Kuhnleis doing it with flowers
