Jörg Knör „SIMPLY MY BEST!“ – Jörg Knörs Showschätze

Unbelievable but true: Jörg Knör has been delighting audiences for nearly 50 years with his unrivaled parodies. “Knör has set the standard here!” writes *Die Welt*. Above all, however, he is perhaps the most versatile artist on German stages. “The fact that he’s often referred to as an ‘old-school entertainer’ is a nod to a genre that seems to have all but died out without him: the fine art of entertaining people with sophistication and lightness,” says the Süddeutsche Zeitung about him. In over 30 solo shows, the Bambi Award winner has continually honed his skills and perfected his art. His repertoire of humorous celebrity skits and captivating musical numbers has grown into a treasure trove brimming with gems! “And now I’m opening it!” Jörg Knör announces eagerly.

“SIMPLY MY BEST!” is, without exaggeration, a feast for everyone who has become a fan of his shows over the decades. Jörg Knör serves up musical treats featuring Udo Jürgens, Sammy Davis Jr., Tom Jones, Udo Lindenberg, Charles Aznavour, and many others… but rarities from his early years—such as Prof. Grzimek, Reich-Ranicki, and Karel Gott—are also part of the show. Jörg Knör promises us an encounter with every chancellor and every pope from his parodic career to date. But the entertainment extravaganza isn’t complete until Jörg Knör, just like in the old days, sketches a member of the audience on his easel and, at the end of the show, wins over hearts with a saxophone solo. Knör’s goal has always been to make his audience happy—not his critics. And he has succeeded fabulously at that over nearly five decades.
