His gags: always a hit. His audience: more than a million. Who is Sebastian Hotz, the man behind the Internet phenomenon “El Hotzo”?
Sebastian Hotz strolls to the next lane, racket over his shoulder, a smile on his face. He, who likes to describe himself as a “dyslexic person”, is in the lead here on the mini golf course in Neukölln. Hotz points to the net stretched out at the end of the track. “The ball has to go through,” he says. “The secret is simple: lots of power!” He bends his knees slightly, swings back and hits the ball up with momentum.
“Aaaaah!” The star-Photographer, who is about to take a picture, slumps down and grabs his thigh. “Oh God!” calls Hotz. “I’m so sorry, honestly! I saw you standing there and thought, I’m not that stupid to meet you. Are you alright?”
