cabaret artist
An artist who performs in cabaret and critically and humorously comments on social or political topics through satirical texts, songs, or sketches.

The well-known cabaret artist took aim at the current government in his new program.
The word is made up of 'das Kabarett' (cabaret) and the ending '-ist' (-ist). The ending '-ist' often refers to a person who performs a particular activity or belongs to a particular movement.
Er ist nicht nur Schauspieler, sondern auch ein erfolgreicher Kabarettist.
He is not only an actor, but also a successful cabaret artist.
This word belongs to a word family. 'Das Kabarett' (cabaret) is the art form or the venue, and 'kabarettistisch' (cabaret-style / satirical) is the corresponding adjective used to describe the type of performance.
Sein Auftritt war sehr kabarettistisch und politisch.
His performance was very cabaret-style and political.
A 'Kabarettist' (cabaret artist) is often used with certain verbs. Typical phrases are: 'als Kabarettist auftreten' (to perform as a cabaret artist), 'ein neues Programm haben' (to have a new program), or 'scharfe Kritik üben' (to sharply criticize).

comedian
'Komiker' and 'Kabarettist' are both artists who work with humor. The difference lies in the content and the form. A 'Komiker' mainly wants to make the audience laugh, for example with jokes, roles, or funny stories. A 'Kabarettist' often combines humor with criticism of politics, society, or everyday life, using texts, songs, or sketches. Learners may confuse the words because both perform on stage and can be funny. If the humor is more light and general, 'Komiker' fits. If the humor is critical and social or political, 'Kabarettist' fits.
