Nuhr

Nuhr is the professional name of Dieter Nuhr, a German comedian, satirist, painter and author known for his dry, observational humor and science-informed commentary. He rose to prominence in the German cabaret and television scenes in the 1990s and 2000s. He hosted several television programs, including Nuhr im Ersten, a late-night satirical talk show on the ARD network, and other formats on German broadcasters. His work spans stand-up performances, books, and visual arts. He has published multiple books, including essays and humor collections, and has described himself as a proponent of rational, fact-based discussion. He often covers topics such as politics, media, technology, and science, blending humor with critical analysis. Nuhr's approach has drawn both praise for clear reasoning and criticism from some who consider his humor too conservative or provocative on sensitive topics. He also engages in public discourse on science communication and education.
