Bowled Over Welcomes .....

Paco Erhard is a multilingual German comedian, compere and presenter based in London. He has lived and worked in five countries and has travelled about twenty more. He has performed all over the world – from Berlin to Buenos Aires - in English, German, Spanish, and Italian, and he has written for award-winning German TV comedy. Paco finally arrived in London on the back of having entertained British holiday crowds in Tenerife for five years.
By birth, Paco is half Spanish, half German. Too efficient for siestas, unfortunately. But on the bright side: too lazy for genocide.

At least that’s what he claims on stage, cunningly making people like him. In reality, Paco Erhard isn’t half Spanish at all. He just says that to take the edge off being German. Which he really is.

Unfortunately, honesty about his real background brings a big problem: nobody ever believes Paco he’s really from Germany. This is caused by a genetic disorder that forces Paco to pronounce “th” correctly, have a sense of humour, walk with steps not even approaching a 90° angle, smile way too much for his own good, and even queue occasionally.

Feeling pretty cosmopolitan anyway and having lived in Spain for over eight years, Paco therefore keeps spreading the ludicrous lie about his “half Spanish” background and finds humour in, across, and between national borders, language divides, and multilateral stereotypes.

His quirky, passionate style engages audiences of all sorts. International in outlook, British in humour, but always haunted by his being German, Paco delivers a high-energy mix of social satire, off-the-wall madness, and positive passion that is hard to resist.

He likes to talk about why we Europeans think the British are superheroes, why there should be more fat people, why Britain should be proud of their trollop laureate Katie Price, why all the trouble is really the Ethiopians’ fault... and about his German paranoia when talking to Jewish people.
