Colleagues and companions of the late Karl Dall say goodbye to the cult comedian on social media with touching words.
The German television landscape is mourning the loss of a very big one: cult comedian Karl Dall passed away on Monday (23 November) at the age of 79. He had not recovered from a hemorrhagic stroke that he had had about twelve days ago. His colleagues and companions reacted with dismay to the sad news and expressed their sadness on social media.
"I've always got to know Karl Dall as a good-hearted, funny person," writes comedy colleague Oliver Pocher (42) on Instagram about a picture of the two from a TV show. Another part of "our television history" says goodbye forever.
Colleague Oliver Kalkofe (55) shared a memory of Karl Dall: "One of the first who made me laugh at Insterburg & Co in the 70s", tweeted Kalkofe. Dall was the "god of weird puns & casual trash humor". Above all, it was "an absolutely unique item" that will never be seen again.
"You can't leave us alone now"
Musician Patrick Lindner (60) also posted a photo with Dall on Instagram. Concerned, he writes: "The sad news has just reached me that Karl Dall has passed away. My God, I had beautiful and funny moments with you. You were one of the most spontaneous and straightforward contemporaries I have ever met. Your humor and your dry ones Not everyone could digest jokes right away. Now you're mixing everyone up there, have a good trip. "
Like Kalkofe, drag queen Olivia Jones (51) also remembers the beautiful moments with Dall: "Man Karl, you can't leave us alone now, at a time when we need people with unshakable humor more than ever I'll never forget how you didn't even lose your sense of humor when I served you a completely salty eel soup at the celebrity dinner. You were a veteran, I celebrated my bright spot at every party and every meeting in St. Pauli, "she writes on Instagram.
"A blatantly wrong decision"
Comedian Wigald Boning (53) describes Dall in a tweet as the "most agreeable anarchist". His death was a "blatantly wrong decision". And further: "The only consolation: The idea of how he offends everyone in the purgatory makes me smile in sadness. We'll see you again, somewhere!"
Actor Til Schweiger (56), on the other hand, apparently has no words. He simply wrote on Instagram about a picture of Dall: "Rest in peace, Karl. We will miss you very much".
