He is known for densely constructed comic monologues, precise wordplay and a resonant speaking voice, as well as appearances on the television satire Neues aus der Anstalt. In 1992, Jochen Malmsheimer and Frank Goosen formed the literary-cabaret duo Tresenlesen and performed together until 2000.

The pair later reunited for new theatre performances, putting Jochen Malmsheimer back onstage with Frank Goosen.
