Rent a Pocher was an entertainment show with Oliver Pocher . It was broadcast in five seasons on Thursdays from 2003 to 2006 on ProSieben .

In addition, Sat.1 Comedy and Comedy Central ran repeats of the program.

In his new program Pocher - dangerously honest! The concept experienced a comeback on RTL under the same name. The principle is taken up in abbreviated form in short films within the live broadcast.

concept

Pocher could be hired free of charge by private individuals or companies for various jobs. Oliver Pocher u. a. as a kindergarten teacher and bellhop, but also as a dog, gay and double of Stefan Raab and Daniel Küblböck in action. Interested parties could apply to rent Pocher using a corresponding form or a telephone hotline. Of course, Pocher hardly had the required knowledge and skills for any job and was therefore unable to do them properly. This created humorous but also embarrassing situations - especially for the other participants. In the individual episodes, the experiences of an “exciting” job were distributed over several clips or several “boring” jobs were shown in individual clips. The show also included a prominent studio guest, with whom games were often organized, as well as the respective employers, who were able to give their opinion on Pocher's services as a “hired person”.

In the last season of the show, Pocher also hired a kind of trainee named Serhat Doğan - comparable to the "show intern" Elton at Stefan Raab. Pocher had previously hired this young Turkish comedian as a comedian coach, as he only had a residence permit for Germany as long as he worked as a “joke maker”. Pocher supported him and furnished him a room in the former VIVA studio. In return, Dogan had to appear on the show and mostly let Pocher joke at his expense.

Already in Pocher's previous show Alles Pocher, ... Or what? there was the Rent a Pocher rubric , where it was his first “rental order” to replace the “renters” best friend.

Awards

  • In addition, the show and its producers were nominated in 2004 for a German Television Award in the Best Comedy category.
