Henning Schmidtke

Do you also think the world is going down the drain? Then rejoice! Henning Schmidtke proves that you are completely wrong. It's not about ignoring problems, but about acknowledging successes. In his mix of stand-up comedy and casual infotainment, Schmidtke presents astonishing developments that hardly anyone knows about because they are not worth a headline. Conclusion: almost everything is going down the drain! Everything was actually worse in the past, we've just forgotten that. Back to the 80s? Nobody wants that - unless you're in the mood for toothache, AIDS and Milli Vanilli. Today we are more peaceful than our ancestors, more intelligent and we also smell better. In a rousing, humorous way and with current figures, Henning Schmidtke documents an astonishing phenomenon: we have improved the world and not even realized it. We listen to sad songs by Lana Del Rey, but our lives are totally Roberto Blanco.
