Talk:Henning Wehn

Don't mention the war
To avoid tarring anybody with any brush, might “Wehn's act is based on stereotypes and perception of Germans by some British people” be rephrased as “Wehn's act plays upon the traditional British stereotype of Germans”?  almost - instinct 19:36, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * or replace "traditional" with "post-war"  almost - instinct 19:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Agree with the latter to some extent but still, on a narrow interpretation, seems to suggest that all folk in post-war Britain think/thought like that. A tricky one. Dick G (talk) 23:48, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

... um ... how about “the prevailing post-war stereotype” ... ‘prevailing’ suggests a general dominance without proscribing anything else ... I think ...  almost - instinct 09:14, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * PS apologies if my use of ellipsis fails to conform to MoS  almost - instinct 09:14, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * It's all gravy with me. 'Prevailing' sounds just the ticket. Dick G (talk) 10:31, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Use of accent for comedic effect
Can we include something on his pronunciation being the basis of some of his humour? The phrase mass starvation has never gained more laughs than when in HW's voice and was mistaken for masturbation. Anyone able to find something citable? Kevin McE (talk) 12:14, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Two Birthdates
There are two different birthdates on this page. One in April and one in September. I don’t know which is correct so this needs looking into. 2A00:23C5:664A:2F01:F802:45FE:D919:1C97 (talk) 21:41, 2 December 2018 (UTC)

April looks to be the right one, checking the public records at companies house, the director of THE GERMAN COMEDY EMBASSY LTD (08523877) & HENNING WEHN LTD (08311752), one Henning WEHN is listed as being born in April 1974 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C0:9D80:FB00:1540:B7CB:5E67:BF0E (talk) 22:21, 2 April 2019 (UTC)

disappearance
I came to this artcle from list of solved missing person cases. But this article has nothing about the subject's disappearance. Could someone please add about the disappearance? —usernamekiran (talk) 20:16, 24 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Are you sure you've got the right article? This one is about the British-based German stand-up comedian. I can't see anything on Google about a disappearance? A week ago it was announced that he'll be performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival according to this report. JezGrove (talk) 20:23, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

He's not missing at the moment, the solved missing persons cases page lists when he disappeared for a few weeks in 1995. Scott Pendlebury (talk) 22:02, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
