Bernhard Hoëcker: Was vom Merken übrig blieb

eeting the stage for 25 years and having his seventh stage show under his belt presents Bernhard Hoëcker with a number of challenges.

A simple statistic about previous appearances, audience numbers, kilometers driven etc. would be unworthy of him and all cold coffee. If he were to take a purely numerical mystical approach, he might stumble across seven as a lucky number or the seventh letter in the Hebrew alphabet. There, 7 is zayin, which means sword. This may bring him closer to the point, as Bernhard Hoëcker has been a champion of witty comedy since 2001.

He has now filtered all of his previous programs - and centrifuged them like a beekeeper making honey, carefully checking the material like a cave climber abseiling and using the finest grain for the final sanding like a carpenter. In doing so, he has worked out the essentials: the honey is pure, the rope is in tip-top order, the piece of wood is a haptic highlight - and thus the seventh stage program presents itself flawlessly and with maximum authenticity Hoëcker.
