“I always drink my coffee black—and without water,” Olm says.Olm is raw, rough, indestructible, direct, and playful. He has a piercing, steely gaze in his velvety eyes, a well-toned body, and he knows no fear. At least not the kind of fear that is instilled day in and day out in the vast, insecure, so-called general public. The two-time Comedy Award winner and host of his former TV show “Olm” doesn’t bluff; instead, he gets straight to the point, unfiltered and with the sharpness of a Japanese band saw.In an age of growing disorientation, the question of the meaning of life grows ever louder. While in roulette the call is “No more bets,” in real life it’s “Anything goes!” But who can still find their way through the thicket of thousands of conflicts? Who knows today what they’ll feel tomorrow? Everyone’s talking about the end of the world, but that doesn’t really get us anywhere either. And so, in a two-hour whirlwind tour, OLM tackles all the issues that are burning in our minds. For him, positive thinking is the motto of life. He advocates for fair discourse at every level. Don’t always take everything so seriously. Learn to let go!His perspective on society is as disarming and clear as the transparent liquid of a 0.5-liter gin and tonic spritzer. His musical repertoire is breathtaking—little musical masterpieces that’ll have you in stitches. HE celebrates life as absurd theater, brings dead stars back to life, and still wonders why the sick don’t just die off. Olm fascinates with his unpolished leaps of thought and messages that leave his audience in joyful amazement.Instead of squandering his hard-earned money on Bird Island or in the small Swiss Walsertal valley, HE prefers to hit the road through the provinces to give his audience, unfiltered, what the public media haven’t offered them in a long time. Authenticity, free-spiritedness, and a daring, mischievous view of the world. In short—even after 30 years of comedy power, Olm is still incredibly human.
