Judging by this sold out gig, Henning Wehn’s doing his job as The German Comedy Ambassador to the United Kingdom pretty well.

As careers go, it’s not the easiest of vocations because Germans allegedly do not have a sense of humour.

Henning, 43, does not find that funny, by the way.

He took on the role in October 2003, when, already living in London, he watched an open mic night that left him convinced that he couldn't do much worse.

Now fans of Would I Lie To You, QI or 8 Out of 10 Cats love him, and his Germanic tones are familiar on The Unbelieveable Truth and other BBC Radio shows.

The Pavilion audience enjoyed a full two hours with Wehn, who began by apologising to any Germans present for the ‘slightly late start’ and welcoming us to his ‘bunker’.

This dry, deadpan humour prevailed all night, as the loveable Wehn gave his ‘immigrant’ view of Britain, having moved here 15 years ago.

He poked fun at the nation’s love of ‘having a laugh’ over logic, his own attempts to integrate, not to mention the UK Citizenship Test, the Royal Family and Brexit.

Early on, he got the crowd clapping along to his ‘favourite German folk song’ - only to announce that it had been popular at the Hitler Youth, therefore getting the last laugh.

Wehn’s earnest, enthusiastic act is full of intelligent insight and witty observational humour, and his routine is unique on the scene.

‘Westphalia is not an option’ leaves you grinning and is well worth a watch.
