Muhsin Omurca (* 1959 in Bursa / Turkey ) is a German - Turkish cabaret artist and cartoonist . With Şinasi Dikmen he founded Knobi-Bonbon-Kabarett in 1986 in Ulm, the first German-speaking Turkish cabaret in Germany .

Life

Omurca was initially successful as a cartoonist and caricaturist nationally and internationally. In Germany he became known with his comic Kanakmän from 2001, which was first published in the taz. For twelve years he was part of the Knobi candy, which was awarded the German Cabaret Prize in 1987. In 1998 Muhsin received the German Cabaret Special Prize and the Star of the Week for his first solo program “Diary of a Skinhead in Istanbul” .

He was discovered as a cabaret artist by Dieter Hildebrandt , who took him on an entertainment tour through Europe. He was also active as a radio play author and speaker. With the award-winning program Diary of a Skinhead in Istanbul , he introduced a “cartoon cabaret” in Germany. Muhsin performs in Germany, Austria, Finland, Japan, Canada, the USA, Estonia, Turkey and Lichtenstein.

Omurca is considered to be the inventor of the word " bio-German ". He used it for the first time in 1996 in a comic strip in the taz . In it a man says to his neighbor with a black mustache and a tea glass: “The difference between you and me is Hüsnü: You are a faked German! Forgery! And I ... I am an original! An organic German ”. It was then made popular by the Turkish-born Green politician Cem Özdemir , who announced after an event in Omurca that he would adopt the term.
