Harry Fücks
Harry Fücks is struggling with the trifecta of passing 50, being a single dad and failing to live up to his own name… comedy is his coping strategy. Originally from the UK - with just a hint of German - Harry has spent 23 years living in Switzerland and working in that most dangerous of professions - software development.
