Nico Semsrott (born 11 March 1986) is a German Kabarett artist, politician (independent) and slam poet who was elected as a Member of the European Parliament in 2019 as a member of Die PARTEI.
In school, he founded the satirical school newspaper Sophie's Underworld (German: Sophies Unterwelt) together with his younger brother, Arne Semsrott [de] at the Hamburg Sophie-Barat-Schule [de]. Its sale was banned on the school grounds by the school's headmistress, though it was continued to be sold from a portable toilet.
Since 2008, Semsrott has portrayed a depressive persona on poetry slams and cabarets. He usually introduces himself to the audience as a “demotivational speaker”. This was also a profession on the ballot for the 2019 European elections.
