Django Asül


Django Asül is a Turkish-German actor and comedian.

Standup comedy

Asül first became known for his standup comedy routines, which were later released on CD. In these routines, he alternates between different voices: a narrator-persona who speaks a standard German with a light Bavarian accent switches to a strong lower Bavarian dialect or a broken German with Turkish accent to represent different speakers in various imagined dialogues. These alternating perspectives allow him to explore social and political themes which include but are by no means mainly focussed on the intercultural issues involved in being a Turk in Germany.
