Achtung! The Only Sauerkraut in Town
Jürgen Strack Productions • Professional company
About the show
Achtung! The Only Sauerkraut in Town is a fifty-minute show of storytelling, stand-up and absurdist wit from Jürgen, a character described as a student of the legendary Ecole Philippe Gaulier. The show is described as Bauhaus meets Tommy Cooper via a Berlin beer hall. Jürgen explores what happens when German precision collides with honest foolishness — making it less of an act and more of an experience. The show has been seen at Altitude Comedy Festival and features audience participation.
Why see this show?
Character comedy with genuine clowning rigour behind it — Jürgen's training at the Ecole Philippe Gaulier gives this show a depth that most stand-up can't touch. Fifty minutes of absurdist foolishness that earns its laughs rather than chasing them.
