It’s another Throwback Thursday, and this time I am offering up my first ever big interview!

Ralf Schmitz is a German comedian and author of the books Schmitz’ Katze, Schmitz’ Mama and Schmitz’ Häuschen. Back in 2008, I was fortunate enough to interview Ralf about the release of his first book Schmitz’ Katze, his tour and his childhood cat.

Here’s the interview as it appeared (in German) on Karl., the youth page of the local daily Solinger Tageblatt I was freelancing for back then.
