Werner Finck
Werner Finck (2 May 1902 – 31 July 1978) was a German ''Kabarett'' comedian, actor and author.

He took acting lessons and began a mediocre tenure in the theatre, making his debut in Silesian Bunzlau (present-day Bolesławiec, Poland). However, it became obvious that he had "comic bones" and when he met a friend who had contacts in the Berlin ''Kabarett'' scene, he found his true calling. Together with artists like Hans Deppe, Rudolf Platte and Robert A. Stemmle he founded the cabaret '' Die Katakombe'' with some friends in 1929. Finck acted as conferencier, and the cabaret became successful beca ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
