Career

Kurt Krömer broke through in 2001 when RBB gave him his own late-night show Bei Krömers, a chaotic mix of sketches, celebrity guests, and absurd Berlin humor that quickly became a cult hit. From 2003–2005 he hosted Krömers Zukunft and appeared regularly on Quatsch Comedy Club, while the character in the red Adidas tracksuit and cap became a national trademark.

He toured small clubs relentlessly, building a loyal following through raw, working-class comedy that mocked both himself and society.

Krömer reached mainstream stardom with the ARD series Kurt Krömer – Die Show (2005) and his arena tours Heute Stimmen aus dem Publikum and Kröm de la Kröm. After a public burnout and depression in 2013, he disappeared for years, only to return triumphantly in 2019 with the brutally honest interview show Chez Krömer on rbb/ARD, winning the Grimme-Preis twice.

His books Du darfst nicht alles glauben, was du denkst (2022) and Wenn ich die Augen öffne (2024) become bestsellers, openly detailing his mental-health battles.

Kurt Krömer continues hosting Chez Krömer (now on MagentaTV), sells out theaters with new stand-up, and expands his podcast and live formats. After becoming a single father of four, he weaves parenthood into his material while advocating openly for mental health.

Krömer’s uncompromising authenticity keeps him one of Germany’s most respected and beloved comedians.
