Christian Gottschalk and Thomas Franz - "We're Sorry About the Hamster"

Songs, Texts, Punny Jokes

Munich-based singer-songwriter Thomas Franz and Cologne-based humorist Christian Gottschalk have nothing against rodents. No animals were harmed in the making of this fun-filled evening. But when the two met about 10 years ago, they realized that each had a piece in their repertoire in which a hamster
comes to harm. Since then, the show has been called that, even though it’s constantly being updated. If the audience is very kind to the sensitive artists, they’ll even play the hamster songs at the end. The evening unfolds as follows: Franz plays a song, Gottschalk reads a text—always taking turns. Sometimes Gottschalk joins in on a song or plays the harmonica along with it. Or he sings one of his own songs. But Franz never reads a text. In between, they provide transitions that are so well done that at times you get the impression there’s a common thread running through it all. On the surface, it’s all about the really big topics: furniture and monster trucks, gut feelings and bee hotels, veterinary clinics and techno vampires. As well as various impositions of late capitalism. A show like a flight through space in a spaceship where no one cleans because the crew
is marveling at the romance of perpetual metabolism.
Ultimately, these two eccentric gentlemen want, above all, to make people laugh. True to the motto: “We’re not going to let the future spoil this wonderful evening for us.”
