Tan Çağlar

After sold-out theaters and a phenomenal start to his tour, Germany’s most charming “TV doctor” proves why he’s one of the leading figures in German comedy. With his usual charm and—in keeping with the title—a slightly sharper tongue, the 45-year-old takes his audience on a journey through the absurd pitfalls of everyday life. Whether Deutsche Bahn is once again reinterpreting the term “accessibility” or peepholes are installed at belt-buckle height—Tan doesn’t mince words. Known as the charismatic Dr. Ilay Demir from the ARD series “In aller Freundschaft” as well as from the Berlin-set “Tatort,” the former professional basketball player brings a uniqueness to the stage that is “brazen, but never spiteful.” He addresses his disability with complete candor and simply rolls aside the barriers in people’s minds. Authentic. Uninhibited. Captivating. Inclusive. Tan tells true stories that are sometimes cheeky, sometimes thought-provoking, but always authentic. From swingers’ clubs to the “token Turk.” Humor on an equal footing that touches the soul and makes you laugh. Experience the comedian who has already won over audiences of 700 as an absolute crowd favorite. And Tan brings a community with him: hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram, millions of views on TikTok. The press’s verdict: “A ray of hope on dreary winter days.” In this stand-up show, not only does he hit the mark, but every single joke lands. “I decide who I let in based on their belt buckle.” – Tan Çağlar
