As a Bielefeld native, Abdelkarim is preoccupied with one central question: Is the world moving too fast or is he simply too slow? Although he tragically suspects the answer lies with himself for reasons, he prefers to look for answers that will directly benefit all of humanity. His motto is clear: Why aim small when you can fail with big?

In his search for answers, the only elected citizen of Duisburg in the world moves through an everyday life with constantly changing perspectives. In the process, he talks to everyone, from young to not-so-young, from light white to dark black, and from female to male. This creates stories for laughs, which occasionally also create big question marks for him.
Are there jackets in which he doesn't look like a special episode of "Aktenzeichen XY"? Why do people suddenly forget their language when they have children? What is the best time for a viral hit? Does it fall under "voluntary work" if Abdelkarim hires on as an admin in a police chat group?
Such questions and many other moments of overwhelm always lead the trusted Moroccan to one realisation: "We calm down." Exhale deeply three times and inhale in between. Abdelkarim is sure: "If we all don't take ourselves too seriously, and if we all talk more to each other instead of about each other, we'll get it all worked out." Right now he's trying to save what can be saved: he's ironing his leather jacket. And he's looking forward to seeing you. Experience an evening of special, absurd and above all funny stories that leave no room for pigeonholes.
Abdelkarim is a regular on TV with celebrated appearances on "heute-show", "Die Anstalt", Amazon's "Lol" and his own series "Team Abdel" on WDR television, among others. With his first two solo live programmes "Zwischen Ghetto und Germanen" (Between Ghetto and Germans) and "Staatsfreund Nr.1" (Friend of the State No.1), he already thrilled the audience with subtle and hilarious stories. The shows, which were sold out in many places, were showered with praise by the press. Winner of the Bavarian Cabaret Award, the German Television Award 2018 and the Golden Camera 2020, Abdelkarim has been touring Germany since autumn 2020 with his third programme "Wir beruhigen uns".
