Dieter Nuhr

A Ratingen, Germany based comedian, cabaret artist, and former visual artist, Dieter Nuhr hit the stages of Germany in 1987, and went professional -- that is to say, full time, eschewing his work as the aforementioned visual artist -- in 1992. He released his first album, Nuhr am Norgeln in 1994, and in addition to a number of television appearances, made quite a name for himself as a wise-acre style comedian. Nuhr weiter so followed in 1996, Nuhr nach vorn in 1998, www.nuhr.de in 2000, www.nuhr.de/2 in 2002, and Ich bin's Nuhr in 2004. All of his album titles have been word plays (Nuhr being a play on ‘nur,' which means ‘just' or ‘only' auf Deutsch), including his 2007 release Nuhr die Wahrheit. ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
