John Doyle: Das Leben ist Abenteuer genug

Why do people actually seek adventure in extreme situations? Skydiving on Mondays, bungee jumping on Tuesdays, swimming with piranhas on Wednesdays! John Doyle asks himself: “Would I like that too?” and then quickly realizes: “Hey, life is adventurous enough. My kneecap popped out the other day when I sneezed!” Sure, the desire for adventure is in all of us. “But when you're over 40, it's a bit of an adventure to cut your toenails accident-free on the edge of the bathtub every time!” John Doyle is one of the best stand-up comedians in Germany and has appeared in numerous TV shows and on the radio. When he talks about everyday life in a relaxed and likeable way, there is no stopping him. The German-American from New Jersey has made a name for himself with his mixture of lightness and depth, while always being uproariously funny. And even when he talks about his greatest adventure, a quadruple heart bypass operation, the audience laughs with tears.
