1984 , at the age of 21, Thomas Herrmanns created his first live show and has done so ever since, creating approximately one show per year in Germany. His shows always combine comedy and music, sometimes camp and colourful, but always aimed at the largest possible audience.
Those shows were often inspired by forms and trends from New York City, where Hermanns took up residence for some time. His biggest success became – maybe logically- the import of the ur-american showform „Stand up Comedy“ to Germany by founding the QUATSCH COMEDY CLUB in Hamburg in 1992, Germanys first comedy club. This show (interestingly and strangely the only one without music…) runs now under his guidance for over 25 years in the main club in Berlin, in other venues in Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart and Munich, on tour in London, Zurich and Hongkong and on television at german tv channel Pro7 and Sky, where Hermanns became nationwide known as the host of the show .

As tv host and creative producer Thomas Hermanns also worked for the Eurovision Song Contest National Finale, on the biggest german award shows BAMBI and GOLDEN CAMERA and at the EUROPEAN FILM AWARDS which he hosted three times (in English). Less known as his work as tv host might be his off camera work as writer, director and producer for the following clients, as diverse as Will Ferrell, Markus Schenkenberg or Sister Sledge for whom he created „numbers“ or whole live shows.
