In an amusing blend of cultural exchange and humor, German comedian Manuel Wolff and American expat Erin Crouch will headline a free comedy show in Baumholder on Saturday.

The event, supported by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs, promises a witty dissection of everyday life and cultural stereotypes, according to organizers.

The show is part of the state program “Welcome to Rheinland-Pfalz! Our Neighbors from the USA,” aiming to foster mutual cultural understanding between Germans and American residents.

Wolff, a seasoned comedian hailing from Cologne, brings his brand of humor to the stage in both German and English.

After his first English stand-up act went viral, he gained international recognition, featuring in the “Laughs in Translation” YouTube documentary and delivering a TEDx talk on the theme “creating world peace — one laugh at a time.” His reputation is bolstered by numerous comedy awards and TV appearances in Germany.

Erin Crouch, who has made Germany her home, offers her take on a new country through her comedy. Her latest routine, “Doing it the Hard Way,” humorously navigates the challenges and absurdities of adopting a new culture, presenting a fresh take on the American experience in Germany.

Show starts at 9 p.m., at Bistro Pierrot at Hotel Westrich in Baumholder. For more info, visit https://www.atlantische-akademie.de/comedy.
