Germany's more troubled than you thought, and so is German comedian Paco Erhard. Hard-hitting, radical, hilarious – the first ever comedian to hold a mirror up to real present-day Germany… and to whoever else deserves it. No wounds unsalted, no punchlines pulled. "Stand-up genius *****" (Edinburgh Guide). "Hysterical *****" (BroadwayBaby).

Wanna be German? Of course you do. And now you can! Let German comedian Paco Erhard lead you right into the soul of his charming, crazy mishap of a country. You will laugh. If you want. Zis is not an order.
Named 10th best show at the Edinburgh Fringe 2011 by Festivals Review, 5-Step Guide to Being German not only received multiple 5-star reviews, but also a lot of love from audiences for its belly laughs, truthfulness and heart. “Absolutely hilarious” (The Brits). “Totally true” (The Germans). After many years living in other countries, Paco finally had to embrace his demons. “All my life I’ve run from being German”, he says. “Now I see how incredibly German that was of me.” Writing the show was a sometimes scary journey of discovery, Paco says. Of his country, his cultural identity, and of himself as a German: “After decades of Hollywood films and stereotypes, it is hard to find who you and your country really are, under so many layers of bullshit. But what I found when I got through them, surprised even me.” Forget the clichés. Paco Erhard holds a mirror up to real present-day Germany... and everything else that deserves a good bashing. No wounds unsalted, no punchlines pulled, no topic avoided. Except maybe sausages. "Insightful and hysterical… endless orginial jokes… a thought-provoking, incredibly witty show. ?????" (BroadwayBaby) "Waves of comedy gold… it is difficult to overstate how hilarious Paco Erhard’s act is… a very positive message of understanding… as close to stand-up genius as I have ever seen. ?????" (EdinburghGuide) “Absolutely hilarious and totally true. Will send all my British friends, so they can finally understand me” (German audience) “Unique insight into everything German. Best show I have seen so far… to all, go and see this show!!” (British audience) “both intelligent and thought provoking as well as being hilarious… this show had me crying with laughter from start to finish… it made me appreciate why my German girlfriend is how she is” (Pandamonium Comedy, Newcastle) “Compelling… he can make you laugh hard.” (FringeGuru)
