“Un alemán haciendo stand-up en español frente a latinos… ¿qué podría salir mal?”

Making people laugh is hard enough. Making people laugh in another language… that's a whole different story. Paul is German, but he does stand-up comedy in Spanish for Latino audiences. And not only that: he uses Mexican slang, talks about culture shock, and even makes his accent part of the joke. In this conversation, we talk about what happens when humor crosses languages, cultures, and ways of thinking. He also shares how he learned Spanish while living in Mexico, listening to Latin music, and adapting his German worldview to a completely different audience. A chat about culture, identity, and the art of making people laugh when no one expects you to. 📌 In this episode we talk about: • How a German ends up doing stand-up comedy in Spanish • What changes when humor crosses cultures • Why an accent can be an advantage • Learning Spanish through music, soccer, and everyday life • The difference between German and Latin American humor 3️⃣ DON'T MISS ANY OF OUR CONTENT: LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/3tpJDVr Instagram: https://bit.ly/3hT2bVI TikTok: /podcast_lvdn_berlin Facebook: https://bit.ly/lavidadenosotrosenface...
