Who is Otto Gass?

According to a interview i've read some while ago, otto gass is the name of a stand-up comedian in the where-abouts of Sweden. Never heard of the bloke befoure tough :Smug:

Also, the name was the first working title for what now has become the album "The Arrival"....
 
I don't know why but I thought it was sort of like a piss take generic name for gremans -akin to Joe Bloggs in the UK or John Doe in the US maybe, but more derogatory ?? Just a thought I don't really know!
 
It's just a made-up germansounding name used in the working title for The Arrival used to fool german journalists.
