Germany’s funniest export, Henning Wehn, is back — and this time, he’s bringing his new tour Acid Wehn to Scotland, with a must-see stop at Dundee’s beloved Whitehall Theatre this April.
Dundee | Whitehall Theatre | Saturday 18 April 2026
If you’ve caught him on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, or 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, you’ll know what’s coming: sly political pokes, dry cultural jabs, and unexpected warmth, all delivered with that famously Teutonic timing. But Acid Wehn takes a timely turn, diving into Britain’s favourite obsession — the weather — and the looming topic of climate change.
Yes, he’ll make you laugh about melting ice caps. No, you won’t leave feeling doomed.
Henning’s Dundee stop is the perfect excuse to explore one of Scotland’s most vibrant up-and-coming cities. Whether you’re local and just need a nudge to rediscover what’s on your doorstep, or travelling in for the show, here’s how to make the most of your visit:
🌊 Start with the Waterfront
The V&A Dundee is an architectural gem, packed with world-class exhibitions and free to enter. Follow that up with a riverside stroll — especially golden around sunset — and you’ll quickly see why this former industrial city is fast becoming a cultural hub.
🎮 Get Nerdy at Abertay
Game design fans, don’t miss Abertay University’s showcase spaces and pop-up exhibitions. The uni helped shape Scotland’s gaming industry, and the student energy is palpable.
🍳 Brunch with the Locals
Tartan Coffee House (on Perth Road) is the sort of place you’ll wish you had back home. Think thick French toast, veggie stacks, and coffee worth crossing town for.
🛍️ Independent Vibes
Before the show, browse Dundee’s growing indie scene — from comic book treasure troves like Little Shop of Heroes, to design-led boutiques in the city centre.
Acid Wehn is not just another comedy tour — it’s sharp, honest and weirdly wholesome, which makes it the perfect match for Dundee’s bold, creative energy. It’s also a chance to see a performer who genuinely gets British quirks… from the outside in.
As Henning puts it: “Rain or shine, all will be fine. Or maybe it won’t. Who knows?! Come along. Or else.”
Honestly? We will.
