Hermann Joseph von Krippahl known as Herman José (born 19 March 1954 in Lisbon Portugal) is a well-known Portuguese comedian though virtually unknown abroad. His career has focused on television.His mother is Portuguese and his father was German. He is in fact a German citizen: he never acquired dual citizenship first so he could avoid conscription and the Portuguese Colonial War (1961–74) and secondly because he said he was not interested[citation needed].
