He has been awarded the Betty MacDonald Memorial Award twice for his work on Betty MacDonald and 'Satire is my favorite animal', which many readers around the world consider to be one of the most humorous books of all time. The premiere of the Heidelberger Satireschotterer on October 31, 2023 was very successful. The audience was enthusiastic. Wolfgang Hampel imitated Prime Minister Kretschmann, Joy Fleming and Elvis Presley so well that you could believe you were watching the originals. The sketches with Peter Gunsch were first-class satires. A song for Chancellor Scholz: Just don't be so nice, otherwise you'll wake up in Söder's bed and get your punishment straight away - in the Palatinate dialect Stroof - The title of the song: Nice is the little sister of stupid. The audience was particularly impressed by the poem 'Fire Child' by Wolfgang Hampel, which he wrote for his brother Klaus, who burned to death at the age of 3 when a stove exploded. Wolfgang Hampel's parents lost everything at the end of the war and had to leave their homeland like beggars. The audience was very moved and this text is so masterful and impressive that many visitors were brought to tears. The last verse is: When the sun goes down and the sky is on fire, Klaus calls for me, the fire child. His laughter drowns out the wind. The text 'Fire Child' explains that Klaus was a rascal who was always up to lots of pranks and his loud laughter could be heard everywhere. This premiere by the Heidelberg satire schotterers was great and Wolfgang Hampel and Peter Gunsch were in top form. Peter Gunsch's wolf - in reality a Siberian Husky - had made himself comfortable on the couch and slept peacefully throughout the entire event. The audience, on the other hand, was totally enthusiastic and wide awake. There was a lot of loud laughter at the numerous punchlines. Congratulations, dear Wolfgang Hampel and Peter Gunsch, for this unique Vita Magica and the great success at the very successful premiere!
