Actor, Comedian, and Host: Multi-talented Hans Sigl
The Romy Awards won’t be Hans Sigl’s first hosting job. The trained actor has been co-hosting the music show “Starnacht am Wörthersee” alongside Barbara Schöneberger (51) since 2022. The part-time comedian has also been a guest host on “Kölner Treff” and “ZDF-Fernsehgarten”. On New Year’s Eve 2022/23 and 2023/24, he rang in the new year on Das Erste alongside Swiss host Francine Jordi (47).

Hans Sigl is no stranger to the Romy Awards. The native of Styria has already won the award four times as the most popular series actor.
