Flange Krammer: Alpine Horn with Flange Krammer

Sometimes, it’s a good thing to say yes to a mustached man in a polyester ski suit inviting you to his show while you confusedly wait outside the venue wondering what to do for the next hour. Character comic Neil Dagley plays Flange Krammer, a German Olympic skier and womanizer, which, to be honest, is a premise that does not sound very promising, but the end result is definitely a pleasant surprise. Dagley, using a questionable German accent, delivers an entertaining and hilarious hour of fake anecdotes about Krammer’s life and clever zingers, which he follows up by jumping on a chair and yelling “Eat my powder!”

Some bits are sillier than others, like a cameo by the Man from Del Monte, and other parts are unexpectedly intelligent and witty. “What did you expect from a free show?” Dagley mutters under his breath before sipping an Austrian energy drink called Power Horse. Well, certainly not to laugh as hard and have as much fun. Even a gang of Austrians in the room are enjoying it. Sexy frauleins, be warned, he will try to bring you on stage and seduce you and you might enjoy it.
