Henning Wehn

Henning Wehn (born 10 April 1974) is a German stand-up comedian based in the UK. Wehn studied Business Administration in Münster and worked in customer relations. In 2002, he moved to the United Kingdom to work in the marketing department of Wycombe Wanderers. One evening, he saw an open mic night and decided to try comedy. Since October 2003, Wehn has been the self-styled "German Comedy Ambassador in London". After beginning his career as warm-up act to various comedians in London (including Stewart Lee for Comedy Vehicle), he now has his own act on the British comedy circuit.

Wehn has appeared on the panel shows 8 Out of 10 Cats, Have I Got News for You, Room 101, 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, QI and Would I Lie to You?. He is a recurring panellist on both the BBC Radio 5 Live comedy sports show Fighting Talk and on the Radio 4 panel game The Unbelievable Truth. In 2014, Wehn and fellow comedian Mark Watson fronted a travelogue in Brazil called The Road to Rio for TV channel Dave. In May 2015, he presented An Immigrant's Guide to Britain on Channel 4.

Wehn's comedy frequently employs common stereotypes about Germans. His views have been described as "on the right" by The Times, and in an article analysing left-wing stand-up comedy, Stewart Lee describes Wehn as occupying "[a] broadly libertarian position". His tours include My Struggle (2011), No Surrender (2012-2013), Henning Knows Bestest (2013-2014), Eins Zwei DIY (2015-2016), Westphalia is Not an Option (2016-2017), Get On With It! (2018-), It'll All Come Out In The Wash (2022) and Acid Wehn (2024).
