Description:

Who doesn't dream of it? Clean cities, punctual trains, a functioning healthcare system – everyday life in Switzerland, for many a world far away. Luckily, Michael Elsener, the "Swiss John Oliver" and recent support act for Russell Howard, is here to reveal the path to paradise – and where the Swiss heaven turns into hell. The political scientist and queer artist delivers off-beat perspectives and spot-on impressions, combining incisive analysis with razor-sharp punchlines. Can his secret Swiss recipe save the world?
