Humor Short

Die Storys von Autor, Schauspieler und Komiker Thommi Baake sind stumpfe, ungeputzte Spiegel der Gesellschaft... Das klingt intellektuell - und ist natürlich totaler Quatsch! Thommis Geschichten sind aber herrlich albern, skurril und intelligent. Sie unterhalten durch absurde, typische Baake-Komik und überbordende Fantasie. Thommi Baake erfindet verschrobene Charaktere, Orte und Welten. Zudem hat er ein besonderes Herz für Verlierer und ein Faible für das Schrullige, in dem sich allzu oft eine geniale Erkenntnis verbirgt.

Sie ist das Erdreich für seine Wurzeln und der Stoff, aus dem seine Lieder und Texte sind.

Youngblood and Poole talk about the ins and outs of nosy neighbors, sibling rivalry, and why every Southerner worth her salt feels the need to offer advice.
