Comedy has become a minefield. What’s still okay to laugh at? That’s a job for Maxi Gstettenbauer—the reliable mine-clearer among comedians. Many consider satire to be a fine blade, but he prefers the axe. Why use a fine foil when a chainsaw will do just as well?
With timing that would make even clocks jealous, Gstettenbauer has worked his way up to become one of the country’s top comedians. Privileged, fiercely heterosexual, and utterly averse to sports, this dark-humored family man has the whole country in stitches. And he does it so skillfully that you find yourself wondering whether white men shouldn’t just be banned outright. Gstettenbauer doesn’t wait for permission—he simply grants it to himself—in consultation with his wife.
COMPLETELY ABSURD is the liberating roundhouse kick of German comedy. Hard-hitting jokes, breakneck pace—straight from real life. And it hits everyone who deserves it. It’s just so much more satisfying to dish it out when you’re the biggest joke yourself.
