About Halil: or is this guy worth my money & time? part
Born in the late 80s to an immigrant Albanian father and Bulgarian-Turkish mother in Turkiye, Halil made his way to Europe following his ancestors’ footsteps, but this time with relevant papers and permits. He quit his decade-long career after a burnout, took over a pizzeria in Amsterdam, fell into a dark depression during lockdowns, which he overcame by turning his tragedy into comedy — and became a full-time comedian since 2022. Living in Europe for a decade has shaped his humour, making it a metaphorical bridge between East and West, like his hometown Istanbul.
Halil’s comedy is well received by audiences all around the world for his unique style, disarming honesty and absurd stories as he brings a clown’s sensitivity to his craft: playful, unpredictable, and emotionally exposed.
