COMEDY

Self titled Yodelmeister Otto Kuhnle delivers an utterly baffling hour of German cabaret and music to a bemused audience in a tent.

Beyond that, it’s difficult to know what to say. Kuhnle juggles – badly. Does magic tricks – incompetently. Teaches the audience to yodel – not very well. He did have some good jokes on the fall of the Berlin Wall and the part played by David Hasselhoff. And I admit to enjoying the dancing garden gnomes enormously, especially when one of them started playing the bagpipes.

And if a show ever needed the label, ‘disjointed’ it’s this one. But it’s intended to be. A third of the audience ran with it, a third ran away before the end, and the rest of us didn’t know what on earth to make of it. I was entertained, but I have no idea how.
