Tutty Tran

Tutty Tran, born in Berlin in 1988, is the first stand-up comedian in Germany with Vietnamese heritage and brings the clash of cultures with a sense of irony. His mother would have been happy if he'd finished school and his father would have been happy if he'd been capitain of the German national team. But Tutty always had his own plans and a big mouth, so it didn't take long for him to find his way to the stage. He has been rocking German comedy clubs with his successful shows "Augen zu und durch" (Close your eyes and pray for the best) as well as "HAI DAI MAU" (Just shut up).
