Serdar Somuncu [ ˈseɾdaɾ ˈsomund͡ʒu ] (born June 3, 1968 in Istanbul , Turkey ) is a German cabaret artist , writer and director of Turkish origin. Occasionally he also appears as a musician, actor and voice actor .

Life

Somuncu studied at the Conservatory for Music in Maastricht (1984 to 1986) and at the State University of Music in Wuppertal (1986 to 1992) music, acting and directing. He staged more than 100 plays , including for the Shakespeare Festival Neuss , the Forum in Wuppertal and the TiB in Frankfurt and also appeared as an actor, including at the theaters in Bochum, Bremen, Milan and Oberhausen. In 2003 he was last seen as Bassa Selim at the Münster Opera in Die Entführung aus dem Serail von Mozart ; he played this role again in 2014, this time (May to July) at Theater Dortmund . Somuncu also took on roles in television series, such as in Schwarz intervenes , Lindenstrasse , Dr. Psycho , as lawyer Samir Chada in the crime scene: burned and as a taxi driver in Broken Comedy with Carolin Kebekus . As a narrator, he set several radio plays, including for WDR .

He became known after 1996 with a staged reading of selected passages from Hitler's book Mein Kampf . His year-long tour under the title Estate of a Mass Murderer was a great success with the public (1,428 appearances in front of more than 250,000 spectators). Somuncu exposed the internal contradictions of the book in a funny way and commented on them. He performed in front of former prisoners from the concentration camps in Buchenwald and Sachsenhausen . The taz honored him as “Man of the Year 1996”.

In 2001 Somuncu started another reading, in which he presented excerpts from the Sportpalast speech of the Reich Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels on February 18, 1943.

Somuncu repeatedly had problems with neo-Nazis during his work and therefore often read with a bulletproof vest and under police protection. For example, on October 12, 2005 in Dippoldiswalde, Saxony, about 25 partially masked people stormed the hall while quoting Hitler's Mein Kampf and unfurled a banner on the stage. Somuncu remained calm, walked off the stage and later tried, to a standing ovation from the audience, to call the protesters for discussion; the troublemakers left the hall with the police officers who had appeared in the meantime, and the event was able to continue.

Somuncu was on the road with his program Hitler Kebab until December 2006 . Among other things, he read individual short stories from his book Separate Bills and also addressed political situations.

In his last program, Der Hassprediger Reads , Somuncu recited and commented on the current issue of the Bild newspaper . In Austria the program was called Kronenzeitung read, there he dealt with the Kronenzeitung .

He also hosted his own stage talk show from 2005 to 2007 under the title Schöner Reden . It took place alternately in the Bonn Pantheon , the Berlin Wühlmäusen , the Düsseldorf Zakk and the Neusser Kulturkeller. Guests were Matto Barfuss , Hennes Bender , Johann König , Kurt Krömer , Martin Sonneborn , John Doyle , Georg Ringsgwandl , Dirk Bach , Claudia Roth and Vivian Schmitt .

On June 14, 2008 Somuncu started an internet show called Hatenight, in which he commented on current topics every week. While the first 50 episodes were distributed via YouTube , the video portal blocked Somuncu's channel with over 2000 subscribers without warning in June 2009 for reasons of content and deleted all videos. After that, Hatenight was shown on Sevenload . On March 5, 2010 it was announced that the program would have to be discontinued from a legal point of view, but after negotiations it could continue to be produced, albeit shortened and defused.

At the end of January 2009 his tour began, The Hate Preacher - A Demagogic Blind Test. In October 2010, he published his new book Carnival million .

As part of the late-night show neoParadise , Somuncu had the regular recordings from the basement hole until it was discontinued in early 2013 , in which he dealt with the curiosities of modern television entertainment.

25 November 2011 published Somuncu the label Groove Attack his first music album entitled For this you will go to jail . The album was created in collaboration with the Cologne producer and musician André Fuchs , who can be heard as a guest rapper in a song under his stage name Uncle Zwieback . All instruments of the 18 songs on the album were recorded by Somuncu.

As a duo, biscuits & T published Somuncu and Fox on September 19, 2013, the rap album We both . Somuncu raps here alongside Fuchs under the pseudonym T or Scheiß T based on the American rapper Ice-T .

Since April 2014 Somuncu can occasionally be seen as a commentator on the ZDF satirical program heute-show . Somuncu is a member of the PEN Center for German-Speaking Authors Abroad of the PEN Writers' Association. Since September 2016, Somuncu's two-hour program The Blue Hour has been broadcast on Radio Eins on Sundays .

Since October 2015 Somuncu's TV show So! Muncu! broadcast on n-tv . According to Somuncu, this is the deconstruction of a talk show that sees itself more “in the tradition of Christoph Schlingensief than that of Anne Will and Frank Plasberg ”.

Somuncu ran as the top candidate for the 2017 federal election for The PARTY . In the constituency of Berlin-Friedrichshain - Kreuzberg - Prenzlauer Berg Ost , he applied for a direct mandate and received 7.2% of the first votes.

Somuncu and Niels Ruf host a regular podcast called Table Talks .

April 2018 saw the premiere of his production of George Taboris Mein Kampf at the municipal theater in Konstanz.

Somuncu is an avowed fan of the Bundesliga soccer club Borussia Mönchengladbach .
