Cem Yilmaz: Diamond Elite Platinum Plus

Cem Yilmaz is undoubtedly most successful and prominent Turkish comedian in recent era, where his jokes has always been picked carefully from the vast majority of how Turkish people behave in a way that it is funny in nature but acted as if it is casual. These conflict observations and perfectly timing in telling always held Cem at top. Cem is now 48, and rather then trying to serve the unexpected energy of age of 20's again, he now creates the synergy of 25 years' experience on scene with the cliches of stereotype behaviors, and performs as an comedian who probably has last years on telling.

Out of context, some incorrect comments would make Cem upset as blaming him of being homophobic or racist. Fortunately, those claims are the cliches that Cem is trying to explain with his humour, and those people again blaming Cem as he is trying to tell!

Lately, Turkey has been going through very hard periods of time regarding economics, politics and social peace and acceptance at the top of the worldwide pandemic. Most professionals would refuse to perform under these circumstances because Turkish society has been experiencing such a breakdown over politics at every aspect of life and suffering polarization and hate. It is definitely not easy to make such people laugh under these conditions for sure. I am lucky that I live in the US so I did not miss the greatness of this show. Some Turkish people think he lost his connection with the Turkish people because he has started talking about the wealthy and rich. I am not sure what kind of nationality wealthy and rich people in Turkey are and why they are not considered as 'people' but it was so funny to hear about their life and challenges. My favorite part was where he brought awareness to the homophobia in Turkey. Cem Yilmaz is not only a stand up he is also a very talented drama artist. He can make any voice and imitate any person in this world. He uses his body language, mimics, gestures, his voice and vocals, his incredible ability to mimic others, dance, sing, etc. In such a way only drama artists employ. Anyway... he made me laugh a lot and that's what matters to me the most. No one in Turkey is as happy as 20 years ago including his unrelenting political opposers since he is known for his undeniable respect for Ataturk. Cem reflects this widespread cloud of discontent and unhappiness over the country in his performance without any hesitation. He is an artist not a politician so he shares his protests through his art.

This show has been nominated by many as the 'worst' stand-up performance by Cem Yilmaz. However, I kindly disagree with this notion as I believe this chapter is the most matured, iconic and timeless version of his unique style and be watched even in the upcoming decades; even though he had indicated that he has no desires to be remembered for centuries.

I have been following all of Yilmaz's works over the years, as most of the Turkish generation X and Y did. I think this was his peak performance in terms of critics of the Turkish elite, mid-class and even the politics. Therefore, it is to be expected that this will not be appreciated by many in present and does not appeal to the masses; yet I wholeheartedly believe that this is the peak of Turkish comedical action and will remain there for many more years.

Best regards to Cem Yilmaz, the great humorist. I wish everyone a happy year. It should be known that there is only one man who does standup professionally in Turkey, not two. He is also Cem Yilmaz.

As always..there is no such thing as always laughing..It is not an easy thing to take people back to the past and make them laugh..we need guys like this..we need to protect and support him..It doesn't suit us to spend on the smallest thing..don't miss..
