In 2017, the new stage program "King Kong and the White Barbie" takes you once again into the world of the puppet whisperer. A world infused with fine wordplay, hilarious puppet characters, absurd ideas that are masterfully spun on to develop a comedy that only needs a vague hint to ignite the punchline.
For his unique blend of ventriloquism and comedy, Tomkins has won numerous comedy awards, including the Prix Pantheon.
His now legendary act with the housefly "Der Hildegard" and the three genies became a viral YouTube hit and viewers are never sure: is Tomkins playing with his puppets or are the puppets playing with him?
How does the Empire State Building's guard dog react when King Kong climbs up the facade? What does an old bag learn during anti-aggression training?
What actually happens in your brain when you forget something?
Why do gray geese work in personal security?
And what do software and humor have in common?
You'll get answers to all that and more. even to questions you never would have asked.
When Tomkins engages in conversation with audience members about seemingly trivial matters, it's not out of curiosity, but as he says himself, purely out of interest. The comedy that emerges from this situation remains irretrievable and unique.
