Nuhrs stage program nuhr in Berlin ( the title is a pun ; for explanation , see below ) is the first German stand-up comedy which was created exclusively for Netflix . Early life and education . Nuhr was born in Wesel but his family moved to Düsseldorf when he was four years old . Growing up he attended the secondary school Leibniz-Gymnasium . In 1981 he started to study art and history at the University of Duisburg-Essen and received his teaching degree in 1988 . From 1981 to 1989 , Nuhr studied art and history at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen . Life and career . His first appearance on stage was with a school theater group where he also started to write his first own texts . In 1986 , he and Frank Küster founded the cabaret-duo V.E.V.-K.Barett . Their first official appearance on stage was part of their program called “Haben Sie sich ihre Schranknummer gemerkt?” , which can be translated as “Have you memorized your locker-number?” . In 1987 , he appeared for the first time as a cabaretist . In 1989 , the duo developed their second stage program “Pralle Pracht” ( lit . bulging opulence ) and after a name change in 1990 to V.E.V.Kabarett the duo performed their third stage program “Schrille Stille” ( lit . sharp silence ) . The last project of the group called “Zipfeltreffen” , which is a play on words in German ( Gipfeltreffen = summit conference whereas Zipfeltreffen = summit of dicks ) , followed . In 1994 , Nuhr started his first solo-project called “Nuhr am Nörgeln” . ( This program title contains , like most of Nuhrs titles , two different meanings . It could be literally translated as just grumbling or as Mr . Nuhr is grumbling because the German word nur , meaning just , is homophonic to Nuhrs last name. ) From 1982 to 1992 , he was an active artist , and several of his works were exhibited in the Rhineland . He has since gained notoriety for his numerous television appearances on Die Harald Schmidt Show , Genial daneben , Schillerstraße , Quatsch Comedy Club ( Channel Pro7 ) and 7 Tage , 7 Köpfe ( lit . 7 days , 7 heads ) on the channel RTL . In an interview with the newspaper Westdeutsche Zeitung in 2006 , Nuhr was asked how he had developed his unique style : “I started my solo career because the manager of a theater in Mönchengladbach had talked me into it . He allowed me to perform on his stage and directed me . While I was practicing my program more and more requisites went missing because he took more and more of them away . So when the day of my first performance came close there were no requisites left anymore . I just stood there and talked to the audience . This is how my very own style was born . At first I thought that this could not work at all , but the fewer requisites I used , the better it finally worked out for me . So I thought that this is what I should do : not use any requisites but talk to the audience in my very own style.” ( 28 January 2006 ) . In 1998 , the stage program “Nuhr weiter so” ( lit . Simply go on ) received an award : the Deutsche Kleinkunstpreis in the category cabaret and in 2003 , he received the Deutscher Comedypreis ( German comedy award ) for best live performance , making him the only person who received both of these well-known German awards . Nuhr is one of the most successful cabaret artists in Germany , with more than 200.000 viewers per year . Nuhr is regarded as a mediator between classical comedy and intelligent Stand-up comedy . In his work , he gives a critical glance to social behaviour in society and media , often satirising relationships and families . Nuhr has also been known to caricature the typical German know-it-all . A typical example is his famous saying that is frequently quoted in forums and Newsgroups due to its very provocative nature : Wenn man keine Ahnung hat : Einfach mal Fresse halten , which translates to , If you have no idea : just keep your mouth shut for once . His performance “Ich bin’s Nuhr” was visited by approximately half a million people . After presenting a humorous review of the years events in 2004 , he has been broadcast on ZDF with a similar TV show at the end of every following year . Nuhr presented the German comedy award for the first time on 24 October 2008 and did so over the course of the following five years . Since 3 October 2009 his four-part comedy series has been shown live on ZDF on four Tuesday evenings . In 2009 , Nuhr was asked whether he would like to participate in the album ”A Tribute to Die Fantastischen Vier” for the 20th anniversary of the group Die Fantastischen Vier . It is a compilation album with varied artists covering songs of the hip hop group from Stuttgart . Nuhr recorded the song “Buenos Dias Messias“ in his office room . In this song he played all the instruments himself and recorded it with his equipment , which he uses for radio reports otherwise . In addition to that , the album includes a conversation between Nuhr and the initiator of the album project Andreas Bär Läsker . From 20 January 2011 until 2014 , he presented the TV show Satire Gipfel on ARD . He replaced Mathias Richling , whose contract ended in 2010 . In October 2014 , this TV format was replaced by Nuhr im Ersten which was presented by him as well . Nuhr produced a two-part TV special concerning the 2010 FIFA World Cup . In doing so he referred to the topic soccer in an ironical way . Furthermore , he produced weekly cabaret segments for the radio station WDR 2 . Together with Ralph Casper he presented the quiz show Null gewinnt in the early evening time slot of ARD from July to March 2013 . In the year 2012 , Dieter Nuhr was mentor for the ARD-Themenwoche ( a special TV format , covering a weekly particular topic ) with an emphasis on the topic : living with death . To this TV format he contributed the television show Nuhr am Leben which was recorded in the St . Elisabeth church in Berlin Mitte and broadcast on ARD on 19 November 2012 . In 2013 , he took part in the ARD-Themenwoche again , when the topic fortunately/Im glad that.. . was concerned . His broadcast Nuhr im Glück was recorded in the orangery of the tropical Botanical Garden , Potsdam and was aired on 22 November 2013 . The ARD-Themenwoche 2014 will be about tolerance and Nuhr will perform his stage program “Nuhr mit Respekt” ( Only with respect ) and will be broadcast from the Jewish museum Berlin . Nuhr can also be seen regularly on the TV show “Mario Barth deckt auf!” in which he and the German comedian Mario Barth show examples of projects which only wasted tax money . In 2014 , Nuhr received the Jacob-Grimm-Award . The Jury praised Nuhrs way of performing and his intelligent form of cabaret . His stage programs were eloquent and his punch lines hit . Though the main aspect of his work was not the extraordinary quality of his speeches but also his ability to perform critique with and through language and the way Nuhr invites the audience to think about how language is able to influence our thoughts and emotions . Nuhrs stage program nuhr in Berlin ( the title is a pun ; for explanation , see below ) is the first German stand-up comedy which was created exclusively for Netflix . On November 15 , 2016 , it became available on Netflix in several countries ( optionally with subtitles ) , including the United States and the United Kingdom . Islamic cabaret controversy . Dieter Nuhr is one of the few German cabaret artists who deals with the topic of radical sides of Islam in his programmes and books . In October 2014 , a suspected Salafist pressed charges against Nuhr because he was allegedly insulting creeds and religious communities . Erhat Toka ( board member of the former Muslimisch Demokratischen Union – MDU , now Bündnis für Innovation und Gerechtigkeit ( BIG ) ) initiated the process and denoted Nuhr to be a hatemonger who agitates against Islam and invoked people to boycott Nuhrs event in Osnabrück . The Islamic scholar Bülent Ucar of the University of Osnabrück argued that Nuhr uses generalizations , feeds prejudice and brings himself up to tendentious interpretations of the Koran . The emeritus professor of theology Reinhold Mokrosch who is also speaker of the Round Table of the Religions could understand the criticism of Nuhr since he felt that it encouraged Islamophobia . Aiman Mazyek , chairman of the non-representative Central Council of Muslims in Germany was also upset about Nuhrs utterances but advised to keep calm . Mazyek declared : If Mr . Nuhr thinks he can interpret the Koran in a fundamentalist way for the sake of satire then he has to take responsibility for this . However , it is not worth suing him and thus giving him free advertising . Lawyer Klaus Staeck , recent president of the Academy of Arts , Berlin , does not expect the complaint against the cabaret artist to be successful . Nuhr only exercises his freedom of opinion , which is taken very seriously by German courts . Nuhr objects to the accusation that he would be stirring up hatred against Islam . He would continue warning of the dangers of radical Islam , said the satirist to the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung . He is not interested in insulting Muslims , but still wants to deal critically with Islam , he told the Welt am Sonntag . The cabaret artist warned of not publicly criticizing Islam just because of fearing the possible reactions and to not leave the protest only to the right-wingers . Nuhr , on his part , criticized the report of the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung , which related the term “hate preacher-image” to Nuhr in their online issue . The Tagesspiegel cited Nuhrs entry from his Facebook site : “Been accused as “hate preacher” by Islamists because I quoted the Quran correctly . Begging for regular visits in jail ! Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung only asks for the opinion of the Islamists and shows understanding . The question is : Does a country , that has that kind of newspapers , even need Islamists?” Richard Herzinger comments that there were some concerns and that the complaint would especially harm the image of Muslims . On 5 November 2014 , the Prosecution Office of Osnabrück announced that the proceedings against Nuhr would be closed . The prosecution justified this with the lack of “xenophobic sentiment” in the works of Dieter Nuhr as well as the circumstance , that it obviously is satire .
