Helge Schneider
German Musician, Comedian, Clown
It is nearly impossible to describe the work of this man. He got famous in Germany for a song about Cat-Toilets, and has since then toured the country with a wide range of programs. He is mostly famous for his comedic songs, wich he mostly makes up while recording. His work also includes two CDs of short stories and plays read and acted by himself and a recently released auto-biography, wich closes with a scene of Schneider cutting off both of his own legs with a scythe while mowing his lawn.
What makes this man even more interesting is that he is a brilliant musician, capable of playing two dozen of instruments. Over the years, he began to include more and more Jazz-Instrumentals into his programs, wich made him appealing to an even wider audience.
Here is a excerpt of his recent program:
