Gagtory

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gagtory (full name SWF3-Gagtory ) was a comedy tour of the radio station SWF3 , which was active from 1993 to 1997. The SWF3 radio presenters Andreas Müller , Anke Engelke (replaced by Andrea Grießmann in 1996 ), Sascha Zeus , Andreas Ernst and Michael Wirbitzky performed radio comix live on stage.

Late envy show

The first Gagtory program, Late Neid Show , ran from 1993 to 1996. Formally, the concept of the Harald Schmidt Show , which was quite new at the time, was taken up: the host was hosted by a host named "Horst" with a white curly wig, a role that the Performers in turn shared. Comic characters from the radio program appeared as “guests”, and occasionally a mediated zapping of the viewer also led to an alternative program recorded by video.

In addition to the series known from the radio program, such as Feinkost Zipp , “Die Lallers” and “SWR3 Kabinett”, numbers specially written for the show were also performed.

All performances on the Late Envy Show were sold out. The last two performances took place in June 1996 on the Loreley open-air stage and on the racecourse in Iffezheim near Baden-Baden ; these performances were recorded by SWR television, edited into a single passage and broadcast several times.

Umfufu is coming

The Gagtory started again in September 1996 with a completely new program, whereby Anke Engelke, who had meanwhile switched to TV, was replaced by Andrea Grießmann .

Umfufu was the rich king of the fictional island state of British Isotonia, from which impoverished Germany was hoping for a loan. The program consisted of actions and reports related to the state visit, with a number of radio comedies being used again to comment on the events or to give "Umfufu" (unsuccessful) a good impression of the host country.

However, this program could not build on the success of the "Late Envy Show" and was discontinued in December 1997.

Cessation of production

After the merger of SWF and SDR, the Gagtory was no longer continued. Some of the individuals tried their hand at independent tours (Zeus and Wirbitzky with “Die Latenightmorningshow”, Müller with “Alles Müller”).
