The date forms part of his latest UK tour, which sees the long-time British comedy circuit favourite take a typically tongue-in-cheek approach to some of life’s biggest topics, including climate change or, as Wehn frames it, “an unbiased look” at the subject Britain never tires of discussing: the weather.
Born in Hagen, Germany, in 1974, Wehn moved to the UK in the early 2000s and has since become a familiar face on the stand-up and panel show circuit.
He initially branded himself the “German Comedy Ambassador”, a persona that has stuck as he continues to mine cultural differences between Britain and Germany for comic effect.
His routines are known for their deadpan delivery and carefully structured punchlines, often gently poking fun at British habits, attitudes and institutions while playing on stereotypes in both directions.
Over the years, Wehn has built a strong television and radio presence, appearing on programmes such as Have I Got News for You, Would I Lie to You?, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and BBC Radio 4’s The Unbelievable Truth.
Despite his media profile, live touring remains central to his work, with Acid Wehn continuing a busy schedule of performances across the UK.
Audiences in Blackpool can expect an evening of tightly crafted comedy delivered with his trademark dry wit and outsider’s perspective on modern Britain.
