Hader

Laughing myself sore listening to Josef Hader on the radio: a one-man cabaret, he does all the voices and sound effects, at a pace and level of absurd invention that is just amazing. For the first half hour, I was sure that I was listening to a duo! Completely untranslateable, of course, some of it barely makes the transition from Austrian to German. Highly recommended to fluent German-speakers.

Hader co-wrote and acted in a film called Indien in 1993, which might be available subtitled in a high-class videotheque near you. It's a funny and sad story, an Austrian road movie about food and friendship.
