Ferdinand Linzenich, born in 1956 in Bergisch Gladbach, is a German cabaret artist, entrepreneur and presenter. He began performing in 1984 and from 1985 formed the cabaret duo Kleine & Linzenich with Nikolaus Kleine for more than 24 years, appearing on comedy stages such as Düsseldorf's Kom(m)ödchen, Berlin's Wühlmäuse, Stuttgart's Renitenztheater and Cologne's Senftöpfchen, and hosting their own 26-episode show on WDR television in 1996/97. Since 2010 he has performed solo across the Rhineland with programmes including „Ich liebe das Leben, weil ich darin auftreten darf!“, „Heiter kommt weiter!“ and „Tut mir leid war Absicht!“. Away from the stage he founded a martial-arts school in Bergisch Gladbach with his brother Johannes, which grew into a regional chain of fitness studios, and he is active in voluntary work in his home town.
