Ralf Senkel is a German cabaret artist and comedian (real name Markus Mimzeck), born in 1977 in Euskirchen and raised in Swisttal-Heimerzheim. His stage persona is built on a deliberately slow, phlegmatic delivery and stoic calm, with his trademark being that he performs while seated, wearing a distinctive red-blue-turquoise tracksuit. Before turning to the stage he worked as a coach for body language and rhetoric in sales. He appears regularly on WDR's Mitternachtsspitzen and has toured since 2022 with his solo program "Der hat gesessen!". His honours include the Kremenholl and Datteln small-arts prizes as well as the 2023 audience award at Tegtmeiers Erben.
