This photo was taken in Bremerhaven, Germany where Pappa was from. They were making a documentary on Pappa in 1987 called, "Finale". The older woman in the background was Pappa's sister,Johanna (Honey) she was in her 90's at the time. They hired Circus Belly to do the filming at. Pappa spoke in German to the audience and did the little car, the hunting gag, the violin/spider gag, the chair gag where he pulled himself through the seat of the chair and much more. I performed and they used some house acts but it really was like a one man show! He was 84 at the time! I was so proud of him and and always will be! Boy do I miss him! Thank you Chic for posting these wonderful memories!!!
