I suspect that taking "Dinner for One" as indicative of the German sense of humour is a bit like taking Jerry Lewis, rather than, say, Moliere or even Jacques Tati, as indicative of the French.

I found this programme on Vic Oliver very interesting in terms of the introduction of American-style stand-up to British audiences.

Do you know the work of Hennig Wehn, a German stand-up now working in Britain? He often plays on German stereotypes and WWII (watch from 23:30-26:05).
