Helge Schneider is a German entertainer, comedian, musician, composer, author, film and theatre director, actor, and screenwriter. He frequently appears on German television and is probably best known for his novelty song Katzeklo : “Katzeklo, Katzeklo, ja das macht die Katze froh”, which spent 17 weeks on the German music charts in 1994, peaking at number 13.
Despite his success with comedy music, Schneider is also a recognised jazz musician. He learned to play the piano as a child and taught himself numerous instruments in his youth.
In addition to several music albums, Schneider has also published audiobooks and radio plays.
