Hans-Joachim Heist // Der große Heinz Erhardt-Abend – ´´Noch´ n Gedicht´´

In the organizer's words:

His best poems, punchlines and songs - mischievous, mischievous, imaginative

For decades,Heinz Erhardt delighted millions of people with his puns and rhymes and made himself immortal in the hearts of countless comedy fans. Even today, after many years, he is still one of the best-known and most enduring comedians. His manner, his facial expressions, his gestures - all this made him unique and inimitable. Inimitable? You'd think so, but one comedian has dared to imitate the great Heinz Erhardt in such a brilliant way that audiences are blown away.

Hans-Joachim Heist, whose physical resemblance to Heinz Erhardt is astonishing in itself, has taken on this almost impossible task and masters it in a unique way. The way he moves, how he delivers the punchlines, laughs and grabs his glasses: the imitation seems almost frighteningly perfect.

Under the motto "Noch `n Gedicht" (Another poem), Heist, who is currently best known for his alter ego Gernot Hassknecht in the ZDF heute-show, offers a cross-section of the grand master's most beautiful rhymes and puns. Mischievous, mischievous and imaginative - almost as perfect as the original.

Hans Joachim Heist achieved nationwide fame as the choleric, ranting and screaming "Gernot Haßknecht" from the ZDF satirical program "heute show".

As an ensemble member of the ZDF weekly show, Hans-Joachim Heist was awarded the German Television Prize, the German Comedy Prize and the Adolf Grimme Prize in his role as Gernot Haßknecht.
