About

Guido is the musician of the two, he arranges, plays and composes, Wolfgang writes the lyrics and is responsible for everything scenic.

The two artists know each other since their school days and have since then, not infrequently in front of friends, goofed through the evening. With their song parodies on well-known student songs, with which they were invited among other things to the "Blue Monday" on the cabaret stage of the Metropol, they became known to a wider audience. In 1999 they presented their first own full-length cabaret program, which was to be followed by four-and-a-half more programs. They both used the time that the lockdown gave them for a new program, which has now been published online.
