THE AUSTRIAN CULTURAL FORUM NEW YORK PRESENTS WEDNESDAY MAY 27, 7:30 PM COMEDY MASCHEK.REDET.DRÜBER (German version) A GREAT TELEVISION SWINDLE and THURSDAY MAY 28, 7:30 PM MASCHEK.TALKS.IT.OVER (English version) maschek, photo by Ingo Pertramer What began in 1999 as a hobby for Peter Hörmanseder, Ulrich Salamun, and Robert Stachel has since evolved into an Austrian comedy cult classic. Thanks to the Internet, and especially the advent of YouTube, maschekian comedy has become ubiquitous. The "other side" that maschek inhabit is like a bizarre parallel universe, one in which they remake the rules and rewrite history. Besides their regular appearances on Austrian national television, maschek perform live shows throughout Austria, Germany and Switzerland. For the first time ever, maschek will bring their unique brand of comedy to the U.S., performing bitingly satirical live voice-overs for found video-footage at the ACFNY. A highlight of the season!
