Yesterday was the big evening. Our radio comedy play received its premiere in two German cities. I was listening to it on the stations' webstreams. I was curious how they're announcing it. It's weird when you hear people talk about your work. In the last few weeks some stations had already called us on the phone during their live show for an interview. And I'm not a producer or used to do or just hear such things. It is the first time for me to do a project like that. And it's crazy how vulnerable you feel in all these moments.
The first picture shows the cast of the main characters, it's "Lulu" (me, the queen-sized faggot) with "Foffi" the dog on the left, next to me is our straight frequent customer "Marc" who is adored by my character Lulu. On the right side there's "Andy" (Thomas, he's a friend in real life, we've created the show together). Andi and Lulu own the beauty parlor. Next to Andi there's our gay frequent customer Bernd who's in love with Andi, and on the chair is Andi's mom who keeps calling in each episode, and tries to find the perfect girl for her obviously gay son.
We had much fun creating it, it didn't feel like work, it was just fun for everybody. The woman who spoke the part of Andi's Mom said in an interview once, "The work was a festival". She hit the nail right on the head.
My friend Thomas--who happens to be an actor and producer--promoted it in the entire German-speaking world. It'll either be a success, or the biggest and well-known flop ever. Currently I'm very nervous about that.
Anyway, the start yesterday was great, tomorrow it'll start in two or three other cities, I think I'm gonna listen to it as well, although it's really unsettling. It's gonna be broadcasted on about 20 Stations (so far) in all parts of Germany, in Austria and Switzerland.
Premiere on our station will be on Sunday in a week (September 17th). We'll have a premiere party in our regular radio show, all cast members gonna be there, we're gonna have champagne, delicious food, hopefully a lot of fun.
