Henning Wehn

Henning Wehn

Henning Wehn (born 10 April 1974 in Hagen) is a German stand-up comedian based in London.

Since October 2003 Wehn has been self-styled the "German Comedy Ambassador in London". After beginning his career as "warm-up act" to various comedians in London, he now has his own act on the British comedy circuit.

In addition he is a regular guest on the British comedy television programme "FAQ U" (on Channel 4), produced by Endemol and has appeared on the BBC Radio 5 Live radio show "Fighting Talk". He also appears in Germany on a comedy programme with local radio station Antenne Münster.

Wehn's act plays upon the prevailing post-war stereotype of Germans; a large part of his routine is based around comprehensively analyzing and explaining his punchlines and jokes in the smallest detail.

CD album

In 2004 Wehn released material on CD under the title "What happened there...".
