German comedian Anke Engelke now oversees train ticket inspections for Deutsche Bahn.
Hop Aboard for a Laugh: Anke Engelke's Unconventional Journey with Deutsche Bahn
Think twice before chuckling and dismissing that 'laugh out loud' moment on a German train, for it might just be none other than Anke Engelke, the acclaimed comedian, in uniform, serving as an intern with DB (Deutsche Bahn). That's a real-life scenario, no hidden camera tricks!
The Comedian's Train Passion and Internship Adventure
"I'm a train travel enthusiast," Engelke confesses with a grin, "I wanted to get a taste of the real deal, so I pitched the idea to DB." To her delight, the railway company wholeheartedly welcomed her enthusiasm, and here she is, rocking the official DB uniform and cruising the trains for over six months now.
From dispensing beverages on request, asking if anyone needs a drink, to ticket checks, her duties as a DB intern are quite varied. "It feels like a script straight from a comedy sketch, but it's the real deal," Engelke laughs.
Caught in the Act: A Train Intern in the Making
Even though the scene might seem like a TV prank, DB's spokesperson has confirmed to "Bild" that Engelke approached DB as a die-hard train fan and expressed her wish to do an internship as a train hostess. So much for stealthy pranks!
Moderator Giovanni di Lorenzo was caught off guard by the comedian's work reveal and wondered if passengers ever recognized her. "Some give me that 'is this a hidden camera prank?' look, but upon seeing my name tag, they realize I'm just here to learn," Engelke clarifies.
Looking Beyond the Internship: What's Next for Anke Engelke?
While Engelke's internship has been a fun ride so far, it's not all about laughs and good times. She's got a mission to collect data and information, planning to create something substantial out of this unconventional experience. As for the details, she's kept them under wraps for now.
On Behalf of the Whistle Stop Comedian: A Plea for Understanding
In a heartfelt appeal to passengers, Engelke implores understanding in case of delays. "They're as frustrated as we are," she reassures, "They just want to get home too. Venting anger at the staff isn't very nice though. They're in the same boat (or, you guess it – train!) as we are." Now that's a friendly reminder right from the heart of the tracks!
"Engelke's internship with Deutsche Bahn offers a unique blend of travel, lifestyle, and entertainment, as she explores the railway system while building connections with celebrities."
"As a train enthusiast and comedian, Anke Engelke's unconventional journey with Deutsche Bahn includes more than just dispensing beverages and ticket checks – it's also her opportunity to delve into the realm of research and data collection for future entertainment projects."
