Dubbed 'the Fringe's most controversial act' by the Scotsman in 2007, Micha Wertheim is as smart as he is edgy.
In March last year he was involved in a dispute after a handicapped man wheeled out of his show after he made a joke about the disabled. The audience then turned on him and forced Wertheim to leave the stage. The venue declared they would never hire him again which induced other respected Dutch comedians to support Micha and declare in which case THEY would never work for the venue again.
It's fair to say you can probably expect some of the usual light-hearted rape, abortion and Down's Syndrome banter from this guy. But he's not just a pedlar of filth and prejudice; he crafts ironic jokes with notable skill, proving there's a very astute mind working there too.
