About Tamika Campbell
Tamika Campbell discovered she could hold a crowd almost by accident. In 2007, clowning around at the Tierpark in Berlin, she told a joke to the people nearby and got real laughs, and that afternoon set her on the way to her first stage programme.
Her professional comedy career began in 2007. She tested the act in England before moving on to television appearances and, in 2018, a solo tour through Germany. On stage she works in German, which she learned by talking rather than in a classroom, and in English, and her material comes from a feminist point of view. She is part of Sisters of Comedy, a cabaret collective focused on women performers. Together with Denise Linke she wrote an autobiographical book, published in 2020. Its title is Wie die Freiheit schmeckt. Wie ich einer Sekte entkam und das Leben entdeckte (โWhat Freedom Tastes Like: How I Escaped a Sect and Discovered Lifeโ).
