What is particularly striking is his bald head, paired with a long red full beard, which, as he himself emphasized at the RTL Comedy Grand Prix , looks like a hooligan and a Salafist at the same time . His jokes are mostly puns , full of irony and often very black . He has been active on television since 2014 and is therefore well known. In 2016 he started his solo program Merciless . He can also be seen regularly in the Quatsch Comedy Club . Between 2013 and 2014 he won numerous poetry slams.
