Werner Finck

Biography

Werner Finck was a German Kabarett comedian, actor, and author born in Görlitz, Prussian Silesia. He found his true calling in the Berlin Kabarett scene with artists like Hans Deppe, Rudolf Platte, and Robert A. Stemmle, co-founding Die Katakombe in 1929. Finck's wit and critical remarks against the Nazis made him an early thorn in their side, paving the way for his success as a leading cabaret artist under Nazi suppression.
