Career
Karl Dall left school after the 10th grade and accomplished an apprenticeship as a typesetter in a print shop in the town of Leer, East Frisia.
Together with Ingo Insterburg, Jürgen Barz and Peter Ehlebracht he founded in 1967 the comedy group "Insterburg & Co." of which he was a member until it ceased to exist in the 1970s. Moreover he created the TV show "Musikladen" for Radio Bremen and has since then been working for television broadcasters.
From 1983 until 1990 he used to appear in the hidden camera comedy show "Verstehen Sie Spaß?", playing for example a chaotic film presenter or a telephone prankster.
In the German radio broadcast of Radio Luxemburg (RTL) he presented his own comedy show and was also among the first TV-presenters of television channel RTLplus. There he had his own talkshow named "Dall-As" which was aired from 19 January 1985 until the end of 1991. The concept was to irritate and provoke the guests. On 4 January 1992 he continued this show at the rivalling television channel Sat.1 as "Jux und Dallerei".
From 1991 until 1993 he presented the game show "Koffer Hoffer" on television channel Tele 5. In this show lost luggage, of which the owner could not be identified anymore, was auctioned to the candidates. Later he was member of the initial ensemble of the comedy show 7 Tage, 7 Köpfe. The spontaneous Karl Dall left the show after a few years due to differences of opinion with Rudi Carrell who always scheduled his shows meticulously.
In September 2006 his autobiography titled "Auge zu und durch" (Eye shut and through) was published.
