Markus Krebs

If anyone knows how to fill large halls with pub humor, it's him: Markus Krebs, the man behind the belly, who has risen from the regulars' table to the nation's big stages with a bar stool, a microphone and an unshakeable Ruhrpott charm. For 15 years, one gag has followed the next - honest, crude, direct and with a gag density that is second to none.

In his new anniversary program, the stool rocker serves up the best of six legendary live shows - a concentrated load of humour, spiced up with fresh gags from pub life, taken straight from real life. Markus Krebs is a cult figure, his "Brennholzverleih" has long since become a brand, his punchlines have been shared millions of times and his shows are sold out up and down the country.

It feels like you're sitting at the bar with him - with a beer in your hand and a permanent grin on your face. Honest. Authentic. Hilarious.

That's Markus Krebs: 15 years of live comedy, 6 programs, millions of fans - and no end in sight.
