How are the Oktoberfest and the energy crisis related? For comedian Oliver Pocher, visiting the Wiesn is good preparation for a possible power failure.
Comedian Oliver Pocher can see a lot of good things in a beer tent visit at the Oktoberfest in the energy crisis. “It’s nice and warm – and eat up again before the blackout, that fits quite well,” said the 44-year-old on Sunday evening of the German Press Agency at the “Almauftrieb” in the Käfer festival tent in Munich. Even real chicken, i.e. not vegan food, has certain advantages, he said with a wink. “Because of all the antibiotics and you can save yourself the flu vaccination. So either two chickens here or you have to be vaccinated again, that’s the current rule.”
Celebrities, models and footballers traditionally come to the party. Despite Corona, the crowd doesn’t bother him, said Pocher. But he noticed that fewer people went to the Wiesn this year. “Basically, it’s a bit quieter. One or the other – also because of travel – has reconsidered coming here.”
Pocher’s wife Amira was also at the party, as was his ex-wife Sandy Meyer-Wölden. She lives in America. The Wiesn is a “home game” for her because she comes from Munich, said Meyer-Wölden. Her wish: “I hope to fly home without Corona. I’ve had it twice and I don’t want to do it to myself a third time.”
