Bernd Kohlhepp (* 1962 in Zofingen ) is a German actor , author , dialect poet and cabaret artist .

Career

As the son of a Dutch woman and a Baden resident , Kohlhepp moved to Tübingen in 1964 . There he came into contact with the Swabian dialect of the Gôgen as a child in the western part of Tübingen . After graduating from high school , he studied empirical cultural studies at the local Eberhard Karls University . He gave up his studies in favor of being on stage. With Klaus Birk he founded in the early 1980s, the cabaret group " 'Vis a Vis" , the pantomime and dialect bound them together and got a first program on ZDF (from the Mainz lower house) 1984th With "Vis a Vis" Kohlhepp appeared in several hundred guest performances throughout Germany, Switzerland, the former GDR, the USSR, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

Kohlhepp has been an actor in the Tübingen Harlequin improvisation theater since 1999. With Eckhard Grauer, he also founded the duo "Hämmerle und Leibssle" during this time, which has been featured in several of its own programs on SWR television since 2000. In 2009 he recorded a record of rock 'n roll songs with producer Mike Chapman in Nashville, Tennessee. Since 2010 he has had a joint evening program with the SWR Bigband, "Hämmerle goes Bigband", most recently with the Stuttgart jazz singer Fola Dada .

Bernd Kohlhepp works as a speaker and author for the show with the mouse . With Jürgen Treyz, he brought out around 20 records for children. The two received the German Record Critics' Prize (quarterly list) twice. From 2006 to 2009 he was appointed " tower writer " for his children's poems in Deidesheim, Palatinate . One of his children's books, Educating Dragons is Easy (illustrator Jens Rassmus), has been translated into Chinese and Russian.

Since 2000 he has also written four stage programs with Uli Boettcher - u. a. "Winnetou IV" and most recently in 2014 "The Invisible Dog Returns" - a controversial comedy program about dementia.

Above all, however, Kohlhepp is known for his figure of Mr. Hämmerle ("from Bempflingen "). Since 1998 he has equipped six different solo cabaret programs with him. His stage programs, which are based on a mixture of Swabian dialect and High German , mostly play with the typical characteristics of the inhabitants of southwest Germany in combination with the challenges of a modern world. Kohlhepp also wrote a local history of this region for the Hofmann und Campe publishing house.

With his different programs he appears all over Baden-Württemberg, sometimes in the neighboring Bavarian Swabia as well as in Vorarlberg . His award-winning play “Die Räuber oder so”, an adaptation of Schiller’s stage material in combination with a cabaret-like framework, can mainly be seen in Switzerland.

Today Bernd Kohlhepp lives with his family in Tübingen.
