Reiner Zufall, random
genius and all-round man of the world, is the illegitimate son of Elvis von
Tirptiz, the DDR's official answer to Keith Richards and rhythm guitarist to
the band Die rollen steine, and writer of such classics as ‘I Can Get Some
Satisfaction (through Dialectical Materialism)’ and ‘We Can Always Get What We
Want (in the Proletarian Dictatorship).’ Zufall, however, was born in the West
as Norbert Biedermeier, but changed his name when he was expelled from the
Konrad Adenauer Memorial Technical College of German Comedy for having invented
the notorious ‘Cabbage Joke.’ Following Klaus Kinsky’s ‘I am Jesus’ tour, Zufall
traveled across the Federal Republic performing his ‘I am Klaus Kinsky’ show
through which he developed the material for his ‘sit down’ comedy. Achieving
national fame through the television program ‘How to be a German,’ which
culminated in ‘The Great Dutch Caravan Heist,’ he achieved the status of
National Comic Genius for writing and staring as Papa Bundesliga in the hit
comedy ‘German Football Family’ through which the expression ‘Was ist
Beilefeld’ became so famous. He, with his comedy partner Zukunft, then toured
the world to film the ‘I Hate The World’ show, completing only the episodes ‘I
Hate Denmark’ and ‘I Hate Tibet’ because, while filming ‘I Hate New Zealand,’
he became involved in the events of The Little Revolution, about which only he
can write the true and definitive version of this strange and singular
historical event.
