From 1970 he published numerous radio plays and features as a freelance writer and director for various other radio stations. In addition to his work for radio, he was also co-author and director of programs for the Berlin Reich Cabaret , founded by Volker Ludwig , and soon wrote cabaret texts for Lore Lorentz , Wolfgang Neuss , Hanns Dieter Hüsch and Jürgen von Manger .
In 1973 he raised together with Dieter Hildebrandt for the ZDF , the notes from the province launched. Numerous television programs followed, including television documentaries over 100 years of German cabaret, entertainment in the Third Reich and cabaret in the concentration camp, as well as film satires and the portrait of Neuss I laugh tears, howls of joy .
Kühn wrote and staged theater revues and was a songwriter for musicals and feature films.
