ABOUT PACO ERHARD:
Paco Erhard is Germany’s global comedian. A staple performer at the world’s biggest comedy festivals, Paco has appeared on BBC, ABC, ARD, and many other TV & radio stations in Australia, Canada, England, Scotland, New Zealand, Ireland, and Germany.
In 2001, Paco hitchhiked out of his native Germany, traveled the world for 14 years, and started doing comedy in English, Spanish, and German. In his high-octane stand-up, he draws on this meandering life around the world and across the USA to deliver mischievous social commentary from a global perspective, connect cultures, and help people from different backgrounds to ‘get’ each other.
