Dieter Nuhr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dieter Nuhr is a German comedian born November 29, 1960 in Wesel. From 1981 to 1989, Nuhr studied art and history at the Folkwang-Schule (Folkwang School) in Essen. From 1982 to 1987 he attended the Heinrich Heine University of Düsseldorf.
From 1982 to 1992, he was an active artist. His works were exhibited in Rheinland. In 1987 he appeared as a cabarettist for the first time and starting in 1992, he worked as a professional cabarettist; he arranged his first solo stage program. He became famous for his numerous television appearances in the past few years appearing in Quatsch Comedy club and 7 Tage - 7 Köpfe (lit. 7 days - 7 heads). Today, he lives in Ratingen.
Nuhr is regarded as a mediator between classical comedy and new Stand-up comedy. In his work, he often caricatures the typical German know-it-all. A typical example is his Standardspruch that he uses on nearly every appearance and which is frequently quoted in forums and Newsgroup due to its very provocative nature is, "Wenn man keine Ahnung hat: Einfach mal Fresse halten," which translates to, "If you don't have a clue: just keep your kisser shut."
