Kerim Pamuk (born 1970 in Turkey) is a German author and cabaret artist of Turkish origin. Born in a village on the Turkish Black Sea coast, he moved to Germany at the age of nine, learned German within two years and later studied German literature, Oriental studies and Turkology at the University of Hamburg. He became known through stage programmes such as "Leidkultur", "Burka & Bikini", "Brüder im Geiste" and "Selfies für Blindschleichen", touring across Germany and giving readings. He has also published several books, including "Sprich langsam, Türke" (2003), "Der Islam, das Islam, was Islam?" (2017) and "Kiffen, Kaffee & Kajal" (2019), which also lends its title to one of his stage shows. Pamuk lives and works in Hamburg.
