Okan Seese

In the organizer's words:

The Advisory Board for People with Disabilities (BmB) and the Association for Vocational Integration and Qualification (VbI) present:

TOMATOES ON THE EARS

with Okan Seese, the only deaf comedian in Germany.

Okan Seese can't hear. But he has all the more to tell - or rather: to sign! He talks about his life between two cultures as a deaf, gay man, about funny dates, the challenges of visiting the doctor without an interpreter - and what happens when Jehovah's Witnesses turn up at his door.

In his new solo show, Okan Seese takes the audience on a humorous journey through his everyday life with a great deal of self-irony. Hearing spectators are amazed when they get to know the world from the perspective of a deaf person - or when they realize what curious questions they themselves keep asking.

Okan is Germany's only deaf comedian and has established himself impressively quickly on the stand-up scene in recent years. He has already appeared in almost all well-known comedy shows, is a welcome guest at the Quatsch Comedy Club and tours all over Germany!

As a supporting act, the (Hessian-Lessian) "Sit-Down" comedian Luis Adam invites you and presents an excerpt from his dialect show "Kaddoffelsippsche". So there will be plenty of laughter on the evening. BUT there will also be time to play, because before the main program with the comedians, there will be an inclusive games evening in the Karlstorbahnhof headquarters from 16:30, which can be attended free of charge.
