Who is Marc-Uwe Kling?

Marc-Uwe Kling is a German songwriter, author and Kabarett artist. He studied Philosophy and Dramatics at Freie Universität Berlin and lives in Berlin-Kreuzberg.

Since 2003, Kling regularly performs on various stages in Berlin. Frequently, he performs at literary and Kabarett events as well as poetry slams. In 2004 he founded a serial public literary event called Lesedüne. Since 2005 Kling tours with his program Wenn alle Stricke reißen, kann man sich nicht mal mehr aufhängen, which is also the title of his first CD. Every first Tuesday of the month he organizes and hosts the Kreuzberg Slam in the Lido location, and every first Wednesday the Poetry Slam of Studentisches Kulturzentrum in Potsdam.

Currently, he authors a weekly podcast Neues vom Känguru, for Fritz, a Potsdam-based radio-station, which deals with the same theme as his book Die Känguru-Chroniken: A "phlegmatic anarchist" himself, he lives with a talking, "pragmatically communist" kangaroo as his room mate.
