Willy Astor

A dicey murder investigation. A fuming best friend. A chaotic living situation. Village police officer Franz Eberhofer has a lot on his plate right now.

Highlights from "Pointe of no return". Willy Astor has been Germany's best-known word twister and syllable catcher for 35 years and is now taking to the country's stages with his new program "Pointe of no return" - in which he does them all again - his "Greatest Jokes". In these 35 years of stagecraft, the word acrobat, songwriter and exceptional guitarist has created unique sound jewels that have long since become classics: from Radkäppchen to his alcohol number, from Fasermacker to "Maschin scho putzt". But his - musically serious - project "Sound Of Islands" also delights more than just fans of instrumental music. He combines all these numbers in "Pointe of no return" and gives the audience an evening consisting of humor straight from the producer with a comedian who, as a former toolmaker, still understands his mouth as a craft. The program was recorded in the Alter Speicher Ebersberg and the highlights of the program will be broadcast.

Karl Valentin is the greatest Bavarian comedian... but: maybe it's all just a misunderstanding? In any case, Valentin only saw himself as a folk singer, but he also produced Dadaist works of art and wrote futuristic songs. Today, he has a reputation as a comedian who has somewhat fallen out of time. In this film essay, Andreas Ammers asks contemporary comedians such as Luise Kinseher, Willy Astor, Helmut Schleich and Christian Springer about their relationship to their great ancestor. Above all, however, he examines how Karl Valentin would come across if he were played in High German today.
