Berni Wagner

Goodness gracious! It's Berni Wagner again. He's back at it with his slapstick language. He's once again performing verbal jiu-jitsu, striking with words like a fine blade, and so on – all purely for self-defense, of course. Ever since he was told that there’s a monster lurking within him, Austria's favorite shaggy-haired comedian is clinging to his humor with all his might. Only this way can he tame his fear long enough to embark on a quest for the monster: it must be somewhere in there, right?

Berni Wagner grew up in Upper Austria and has been living in Vienna since 2010. ORF viewers know him as part of the guessing team on "Was gibt es Neues?", from "Pratersterne," and as a guest on "Kabarettgipfel" at the Vienna Stadthalle.
