Gerd Dudenhöffer

Gerd Dudenhöffer (born 13 October 1949 in Bexbach, Saarland) is a German cabaret artist and writer.

Becker has poor formal education, speaks the local dialect and often hesitates to find the right words.

He often explains his opinion through comparison to banal experiences made in his community and uses highly politically incorrect language.

He is the, seemingly stupid, freshwater philosopher who holds a mirror to intellectuals from the big cities and their life style.

In 1998 occurred a public controversy whether the stage character of "Heinz Becker" has a negative influence on the reputation of the German land of Saarland.
