Heinrich Del Core

Heinrich Del Core is a German Kabarettist, stand-up comedian and former comedy magician born on December 6, 1961 in Rottweil, Baden-Wuerttemberg. He is the son of an Italian guest worker from Apulia and a Swabian mother, and the friction between Italian temperament and Swabian everyday culture is the heart of his stage material. Trained as a dental technician, he started in comedy in 1995 under the pseudonym Heini Oexle and switched to full-time comedy in 2000, building a recognizable mix of warm storytelling, character voices and observational humor about southern German family life.

Del Core developed his career through Kleinkunst stages across southern Germany before becoming a national TV face on cabaret formats and ARD/SWR comedy shows. His touring programs include Ganz arg wichtig!, in which he turns everyday absurdities into vivid mini-stories with self-deprecating Italo-Swabian charm, and Glueck g'habt!, which builds on his trademark mix of family anecdotes and gentle social commentary. In 2026 he tours with the new program Juhuu, meine Frau wird Oma!, a riff on becoming a grandparent and aging in a binational family. He has appeared in commentary pieces in German media (including Cicero) where he reflects, in cabaret form, on Italian politics, dual identity and guest-worker history. His dental-technician background remains a recurring source of running gags. With more than two decades on stage, he is one of the best-known voices of Italo-German Kabarett.

Heinrich Del Core tours extensively across southern Germany and German-speaking Europe, with regular dates in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Bavaria, Switzerland and Austria, including key Kleinkunst stages such as Stuttgart, Rottweil and Bad Kreuznach. His current program Juhuu, meine Frau wird Oma! runs through 2026.
