- Synopsis:
- After his previous shows tackled those well-known staples of light entertainment that are the British obsession with home ownership and the self-serving nature of most fundraising efforts, this time Henning's having an unbiased look at immigration. He also wonders, if, generally speaking, people are competent. Luckily in his case this doesn't matter as either he's funny or he lives up to a national stereotype. It's a win-win situation.

Gets better and better - Henning Wehn: Westphalia Is Not an Option review by JB
I watched this before Ein Zwei DIY, and I wished that I'd watched the other first as it was in my opinion, weaker, only focusing on safe subjects, in my opinion.
His material in this later act is both more edgy and polished. I wasn't expecting much given the venue, but in fact it's one's own reaction to comedy that's important, and not what other people find amusing.
Given that it's post referendum, it has a fair share of Brexit- inspired material leading inevitably to the thorny subject of immigrants and our reactions to them and of course, colour.
He walks that awkward tightrope well, ending up making us question our own beliefs/prejudices.
For an act that comes across as a mate telling a story down the pub, it's deceptively clever.
Of the two DVD's I would say this is a 4 star and the other just scrapes in a 3
