ISTANBUL - Turkish Daily News

Muhsin Omurca, a Turkish stand-up comedian living in Germany, is in Istanbul again to perform his stand-up show, �EU: No Date, No Entry.�

Omurca, who will be a guest of cabaret night organized by Lamia Congress and Event Management and Leman Culture tonight at 19:00 at the Goethe Institute Teutonia in Tünel, features the long-term �love� relationship between Turkey and the EU that is expected to result in �marriage.� According to Omurca, the Turks have been preparing for this �marriage of the century� for a long time; this is why extra demands from the �bride� never intimidate them. The comedian makes people think while they laugh at his references to Turks and Europeans."
