Life
His best-known series is the Gerd Show , in which current events were comedically processed, among others with the voice of Gerhard Schröder . The Gerd show , which was produced together with the author and producer Peter Burtz from 1999, was broadcast as a short comedy daily format on various radio stations until 2005 (including NDR2, 1Live, hr3, Bayern3, MDR Jump, SR1, Radio Regenbogen, Antenne Bayern, 104.6 RTL , Radio Ton, Hit 1, Inselradio Mallorca). The show's greatest success was the Steuersong , which reached number one in the charts in Germany and Austria at the turn of the year 2002/2003 and stayed there for a total of 19 weeks. Over a million records were sold and the song went double platinum. The song is based on the summer hit of the year 2002 Aserejé (The Ketchup Song) by Las Ketchup .
In the WDR - cabaret show Mitternachtsspitzen Brandt imitated as overlaid voice to video excerpts sizes from society and politics, including Joachim Loew , Peter Zwegat , Wolfgang Schaeuble , Edmund Stoiber , Reiner Calmund , Johannes Rau , Dieter Bohlen , Marcel Reich-Ranicki , Arnold Schwarzenegger , Franz Müntefering , Peer Steinbrück , Guido Westerwelle , Franz Beckenbauer , Joschka Fischer and, since summer 2015, also the actor Wolfgang Völz in the speaking role of Captain Blaubär .
Since Gerhard Schröder was voted out of office in autumn 2005, German radio Angela has been running ... Fateful Years of a Chancellor - a woman is making her way as a new political comedy format with Elmar Brandt and Anne Onken as Merkel parodist. The team has been producing the successful Comedy Supermerkel as a successor series since 2007 .
