Johann König: Anyone who makes plans will be laughed at!

Johann König was never really drawn to the stage. He wanted to become a teacher. Sports teacher for biology and science. That was the plan. But this plan did not work out. After 19 semesters, the audience forced him with their affection and their money to devote himself entirely to humor. This is how he ended up on the slippery slope of cultivated evening entertainment, from which there is no turning back.

And today? Today, he laughs about it – just like the audience laughs about him.

The guy, the depressive mood cannon, is now fifty years old. Many people look younger at 50, but feel older. The opposite is true for the king. At 50, many people think they have to change everything. Or genderize everything. Johann makes everything new AND remains true to himself. Many people start with eggnog at this age, Johann has chickens.

In his new program, he asks the pressing questions of our time: Will the house really get smaller when the children get bigger? How do you genderize an abandoned ladies’ bike? Does the speed limit also apply to handkerchiefs? And are we still allowed to say “what can we actually say?”?

The best long-term projects are those that are short-term. The plan should be to stop making plans. Except, of course, a comprehensive tour plan.
