Henning WehnGerman Comedy Ambassador and Renowned Satirist

Henning Wehn is the self-appointed German Comedy Ambassador to the United Kingdom, a role he assumed after witnessing an open mic performance and deciding he could improve upon the format. Although he originally planned a brief twelve-month stay in Britain, he became a permanent fixture on the circuit, fascinated by British culture and the peculiar nuances of national identity. Through his wry observations, he examines the long-standing rivalry between his home country and his adopted nation, expertly deconstructing stereotypes regarding German efficiency and British nostalgia. His television and radio profile is extensive, with frequent appearances on major programmes such as Have I Got News For You, Would I Lie To You?, and QI. Beyond standard panel shows, he has fronted investigative projects including An Immigrant's Guide to Britain for Channel 4 and cultural documentaries for the BBC World Service. His versatility is further evidenced by his travelogue work, such as The Road to Rio with Mark Watson, and his ability to address complex socio-political topics through the medium of stand-up on Newsnight. Henning is highly sought after for his unique ability to blend sharp social commentary with a distinctively logical perspective. His presentations offer a refreshing look at international relations, economics, and cultural integration, ensuring every audience is both entertained and challenged by his meticulously crafted perspective on modern life. On stage, Henning Wehn is best known for talks on Comedy, Cultural Insights and Social Commentary. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
