Tahsim Durgun – Mama, bitte lern Deutsch

A life between cultures

Tahsim Durgun, alias tahdur, brings his stories to life on stage and takes you on a journey through the madness of everyday life between two cultures. In his show Mama, bitte lern Deutsch (Mum, please learn English), inspired by his book of the same name, which was published in March 2025, Tahsim recounts the small and large absurdities of his life with his usual cynical humour and a touch of self-irony.

Success that speaks for itself

Tahsim is a comedian, content creator and author. As the winner of the Grimme Online Award 2024, the Blue Panther 2024 and the VideoDays 2024, he inspires over a million followers on his social media channels with his unique humour. His topics are as diverse as his audience: racism, identity, migration and the eternal feeling of being caught between two worlds. With poetic moments and astute observations, Tahsim manages to make the reality of life for the post-migrant generation tangible.
