The Times

He took office in October 2003 after watching an open mic night that left him convinced that he wouldn’t be all that much worse. Opinion on his stand-up is divided. Whilst Henning sees himself as one of Britain’s foremost social commentators, everybody else describes him as ‘that German bloke’.

Henning’s most recent television and radio appearances include: Have I Got News For You BBC1, Would I Lie To You BBC1, House Of Games BBC2, Live At The Apollo BBC2, Guessable Comedy Central, Question Time BBC1, 8 Out Of Cats Does Countdown Channel 4, Fighting Talk BBC Radio 5 Live, I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue and The Unbelievable Truth BBC Radio 4.
