Walter Böhm (cabaret artist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Walter Böhm (born November 7, 1906 in Hanover ; † November 1, 2003 in Hanover) was a German cabaret artist . At that time he was one of the pioneering humorists on Germany's stages.

After taking acting classes at a young age, he traveled the world as a newspaper journalist for a while. Back in Germany, he took part in a competition for radio artists with cheerful poems and was the overall winner in Berlin. The Second World War interrupted Böhm's beginning career in the vaudeville; the comedian found himself as an entertainer on the front stages and with the soldiers' radio stations Smolensk, Krim and Gustav. After 1945, supported by radio, followed a rapid rise to the top German comedian. Polydor published his Berlingastspiel in the 1960s a. a. in his prestigious series From Cabaret to Cabaret , which otherwise includes recordings by Otto Reutter , Werner Finckor the Münchner Lach- und Schießgesellschaft . Foreign presses of this program were also produced.

Böhm married (he called his future wife an "unmanned terrestrial satellite") and lived in Hanover.
