Dieter Nuhr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dieter Nuhr (born October 29, 1960) is a German comedian from Wesel. From 1981 to 1989, Nuhr studied art and history at the Folkwang Academy in Essen. From 1982 to 1987 he attended the University of Duisburg-Essen.
From 1982 to 1992, he was an active artist. His works were exhibited in the Rhineland. 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 famous saying that 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 mouth shut."
