Life

After completing his military service in the navy, he followed up with a brief vocal course until 1946, before appearing at the Solingen theater, where he was soon cast as a buffalo in the comic subject over the years. When this theater closed, it was more by chance that he initially found accommodation as a speaker in the Bütt at the Düsseldorf Carnival , and finally also at the Cologne Carnival .

Lauterbach became popular in the Cologne Carnival as a “quick speaker” in the 1960s through various broadcasts of the carnival sessions on the WDR television program and through several appearances in Zum Blauen Bock with Heinz Schenk and Lia Wöhr . His national level of fame can also be seen in the fact that he was invited as a guest star in the show quiz Dalli Dalli by Hans Rosenthal in 1979 . His trademark were the intentionally interspersed slip of the tongue. In 1971 Lauterbach was the first comedian in Germany to sell a long-playing record more than 100,000 times with Kurt Lauterbach's collected stammering ( Odeon ) . This was awarded a gold record . One of his most famous ambiguous humorous slip of the tongue , which has entered the general vocabulary was that: "Those who drill another in the nose, even a pig ..." .

He lived in Solingen for many years and ran a delicatessen shop with his wife in the Merscheid district . In 1994 he wanted to end his stage engagement, but died on May 5, 1993 of the consequences of a heart attack .
