About Loriot

German for "Oriole," Loriot was the nom de plume of humorist, actor, writer, and widely popular artist Vicco von Bulow. Born in November 1923, von Bulow worked under the aforementioned pseudonym for his entire career, creating a number of characters and works that would elevate him to the status of one of Germany's most beloved comedians. His cartoon dog Wum would prove to be one of his most popular characters, and resulted in a number of songs and television appearances. He was also adept at other artistic endeavors, conducting the Berlin Philharmonic for their 100th anniversary gala, as well as staging a number of operas. ~ Chris True
