Details: The Süddeutsche Zeitung describes him as Shooting star and Prince Charming of the new cabaret & comedy scene. And yes, he is Black and a native Bavarian. Simon Pearce confronts racism with humor and, with plenty of irony, recounts what it's like to grow up and live as a Black person in the middle of a black-governed Bavaria. He repeatedly encounters bizarre situations, dealing with overt and covert racism, but also with excessive political correctness. In his anecdotes, he offers social criticism, but without pointing the finger, always with a wink and a generous dose of self-irony. Countryside or city, East or South – narrow-mindedness, racism, and overly correct bias can be found everywhere. Now, the first solo program, "Alle unter Schwarzen" (Alone Among Black Men) by "Eddie Murphy from Puchheim" (Freisinger Nachrichten), has been recorded live at Munich's venerable Lustspielhaus and released on CD. The result is 76 minutes of top-notch entertainment and a joy of playing that seems palpable. Even if the laughter might often get stuck in your throat. But sometimes only a good dose of humor helps. And Simon Pearce definitely brings this with him.
