- In the video above, the 92-year-old cabaret artist reveals why the Swiss still laugh at his jokes today.
- And Steinberge reveals how much his wife Niccel has contributed to his success.
"You're old if you can no longer see hair growing out of your nose and ears," says Emil Steinberger. His wife Niccel laughs, and the 92-year-old cabaret artist agrees. She has just plucked a hair at his request.
This is one of the first scenes in the documentary "Typically Emil" by Lucerne filmmaker Phil Meyer.
Steinberger takes one last look in the dressing room mirror before a performance. The scene took place when the cabaret artist was on tour with his program "Emil schnädered".
This is how much Emil's wife contributed to his success
The documentary "Typically Emil" is largely based on excerpts from his stage programs.
No matter which year Steinberger played Emil, he made the audience happy. As a policeman, as a father with a baby carriage, as a mountain man, as a restaurant visitor.
In the video above, Emil Steinberger explains why the Swiss still laugh at his jokes today. And he reveals how much his wife Niccel, whom he married in New York on May 18, 1999, has contributed to his success as an artist.
