Erwin Grosche "Pippifax Deluxe"

HUMOR IN THE FIFTH DIMENSION "Who I like to stand up and applaud is Erwin, Erwin Grosche. Just his smart suit and his choice of instruments - that's all I need." If you look in the dictionary, PIPIFAX stands for "foolish stuff and nonsense."

This is exactly what Erwin Grosche has been doing on stage for 50 years, hiding touching philosophical thoughts and serious insights in all the nonsense. And then he often has a little song on his lips while accompanying himself with a blue children's accordion or piano. Sometimes it's about how he can do something good, sometimes he sings an ode to the poppy seed cake that drives him to strange thoughts. And as if that wasn't enough, he plays the accordion with his double chin! More is not really possible. Unless, of course, there is a miracle: the miraculously resurrected garden lawn waste bag.
There is a feeling for language and wit, there are intelligent double entendres instead of flat ambiguities, there is a talent for lovingly portraying people's weaknesses and making the audience laugh without making others look ridiculous. What a stroke of luck. This is humor up to the fifth dimension.
