We are excited to be hosting German comedian Paco Erhard again. The last two times he was with us, we had a full house!Award-winning stand-up comedy, plus German entertainment, beer and food 🍻
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣🤣🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣🤣🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣🤣🤣 🤣
Bring your friends for belly laughs, beer, fun, sausages, and the secrets of your favorite country: Germany
It's Karneval! Or Fasching, depending on where you're from.
(for non-Germans, Karneval a very popular festive season; the entire city of Cologne shuts down for an all-day party, similar to Mardi Gras in New Orleans)
And one very, VERY important aspect of Karneval? The Büttenrede. Part stand-up comedy show, part satire, part roasting politics and human nature. German comedian Paco Erhard's hilarious stand-up delivered with an edge of clever wordplay.
As part of this colorful performance, we will also enjoy a Krampus walk and German folk dancing.
Gather your German-American friends (and your German friends, your American friends, or enemies) as a German comedian takes the stage.
For one special night, Tampa Bay turns into a Rheinland Karneval Comedy Show: Kick-ass German comedy (yes, you heard right), cold beer, delicious pretzels, and just a fantastic German time.
You will laugh. If you want. Zis is not an order.
Doors at 6PM for beer, food and camaraderie
Show begins at 7PM

Discover the German in you! Celebrate your heritage! And laugh your socks off in the process.
Whether you’re a native German, an American celebrating your German heritage, or you just try to make sense of your German neighbors — Paco Erhard’s comedy ”will have you in stitches, whether you’re German or not.” (CBC, Canada).

Finally America has a German comedian, and his name is... Paco?!?!?
A German comic who wins awards in the US — don’t worry, that’s actually not one of the signs of the apocalypse. The Orlando Weekly finds Paco “chaotically hilarious”, Broadway World calls him “one of the best cultural comedians in the world”, and Australia’s largest newspaper, the Herald Sun, even says his show is “genius” and that “the comedy world is a better place for it.”
But... “Paco”? Is he actually German? Well, his German family tree goes back to 1548 and a recent 23andMe test showed his DNA contained traces of sausage. So yes: very German. His real name is Frank Erhard Hübener, “Paco” is just a nickname he got when he lived in Spain. In general he feels less German and more like a citizen of the world. Typical German!
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 🤣🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
A rip-roaring good time for Germans, Americans, and anyone in between. The beer will flow, authentic German food will fill your belly, you’ll laugh till your sides hurt. And in the end we’ll all understand each other a little bit better, and we’ll drink and talk into the night.
🤣 🤣 🤣
