Nikita Miller, born in Kazakhstan and raised in Stuttgart, describes himself as a comedic storyteller. He is German in a different way, funny in a different way, philosophical and direct.
When he begins to tell his first story on stage with a slight Russian accent, standing more than two meters tall, hair as long as a match head and trained like a Shaolin monk, you are glad when he sits down so that he doesn't cut a path if he falls into the audience.
Cabaret artist Dieter Nuhr says about him: "Nikita Miller does something I've never seen before: He tells funny stories, but they don't just go from punchline to punchline and are funny for that very reason. His performance has depth and authenticity. The texts move the audience and they listen with pleasure and excitement, almost captivated. It's a completely unique form of everyday satire. I am thrilled!"
The jury for the German Cabaret Award 2023 put it in a nutshell: "With this award, the jury honors an artist who, as a classic storyteller in a very modern guise, has managed to create almost a niche of his own genre. Nikita Miller's stories are not just packaging for funny punchlines or deeper messages. His focus is on the story itself, which escalates everyday situations, experiences from his own youth and ironically broken clichés of his Kazakh-Russian origins with almost cinematic dramaturgy. His situation comedy, surprising references and bizarre climaxes - spiced up with plenty of street credibility - take the audience on a narrative journey that no one wants to end prematurely."
There are comedians who you realize you've missed from the very first time you meet them. Nikita Miller is one of them. And he has hit the road. And when someone like that sets off, he arrives! Wherever that may be.
