Stand-up show 'Acid Wehn' by German comedian Henning Wehn, an unbiased look at climate change.
Henning Wehn brings his new show, Acid Wehn, to Hull City Hall on Monday 17 May 2027. It's a night of comedy from the German comedian, and the title gives you a fair idea of where he's heading this time around.
Wehn describes Acid Wehn as an unbiased look at climate change. It's not his first go at taking a big, often polarising topic and running it through his particular filter. He's built a bit of a pattern with this: before this, he's done the same with charity, immigration, Brexit and the Covid crisis. Each one follows a similar line — taking a subject that usually gets people shouting and looking at it from a distance, with that same detached, observational approach.
If you're not familiar with him, it helps to know where he's coming from. He's a German comedian working in English, and a lot of the appeal comes from that outsider's perspective on British life and the things we take for granted. It's a point that hasn't gone unnoticed outside the comedy circuit, either. King Charles III once remarked that Wehn has given us an understanding of German quirks, so the cross-cultural thing is a good part of what he does.
