Berlin, December 1927: Harry Frommermann has no academic training in singing or music, but he is a big fan of the American vocal quartet "The Revelers". Now he is looking for professional singers for his own ensemble. Along with 70 other unemployed men, Robert Biberti, who not only has an extraordinary bass voice, but is also an ardent supporter of the “Revelers”, responded to his advertisement. A few days later, Biberti brings his two choir colleagues Ari Leschnikoff and Roman Cycowski along, and one of them brings the pianist Erwin Bootz. Walter Nußbaum joins them as second tenor, but he is soon replaced by Erich Collin. The rest is history: the founding of the "Comedian Harmonists", In this play with music, the author Gottfried Greiffenhagen is not concerned "with the representation of how it really was, but with inventing a plot that is free, lively and open enough to allow the emergence and disintegration of this unique vocal group describe". The musical arrangement by Franz Wittenbrink complements the text with hits such as "My little green cactus", "Veronika, der Lenz ist da" and other unforgettable melodies by the vocal ensemble.
