Zlatan Zuhrić

Zlatan Zuhrić, known as Zuhra, is a Croatian actor, comedian and television host, best known as Aljoša Kapulica, the pupil he played in the comedy show Večernja škola (Evening School). He was born in Zagreb on 21 April 1962 and grew up in the Črnomerec neighbourhood; his father's family came from Cazin and his mother's from Dubrovnik. After finishing the Fifth Gymnasium he graduated from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing at the University of Zagreb. His comedy career began in 1987 in a double act with Željko Pervan, as part of the Zločesta djeca (Naughty Kids) team on Radio 101. His popularity peaked with Večernja škola, in which Pervan played the teacher, and the character of Aljoša made him famous across Croatia and beyond; he returned to the role in Večernja škola: Povratak upisanih (2005–2006). After leaving Večernja škola he moved to Nova TV, where he had his own talk show for one season and at the same time played the lead, Joško Macola, in the sitcom Cimmer fraj (2006–2007), leaving after one season together with his co-star Arijana Čulina. He then returned to the national broadcaster HRT, where for a year he co-hosted the talk show 69 with actor Hrvoje Kečkeš. In 2007 he also hosted the Zuhra Light Show. His long list of television roles includes Danilo Vratina in Obećana zemlja (2002), Thomas Mršić in Bumerang (2005–2006), Bitange i princeze, Nagib and Bahro Burek in the long-running sitcom Lud, zbunjen, normalan (2007–2020), Luda kuća (2007), Stipe u gostima (2009), Instruktor (2010), Crno-bijeli svijet (2015), Na granici (2018), Blago nama (2020) and San snova (2023). He took part in Zvijezde pjevaju in 2011 and appeared on The Masked Singer in 2022 as the Stuffed Pepper. On film he has appeared in Svjetsko čudovište (2003), Lopovi prve klase and Posljednja pričest (2005), Jasmina (2009), Duh babe Ilonke (2011) and Sonja i bik (2012), and he voiced Maurice in the Croatian dub of Madagascar.

Croatian comedy has strong roots in theatre, regional characters and television. Comic plays and cabaret have long been part of theatre life in Zagreb, Split, Rijeka and Osijek, and much Croatian humour plays with the differences between regions, such as Dalmatia, Slavonia, Zagorje and the capital, each with its own dialect, habits and stereotypes. Mato Ergović is among the Croatian comic actors listed on GiggleTime.

Television made many comedians household names. Sitcoms and sketch shows such as Naši i vaši and Bitange i princeze drew large audiences, and entertainment programmes gave comic presenters and characters a place in Croatian living rooms; Zlatan Zuhrić, known as Zuhra, became one of the best-known faces of Croatian TV humour. In the last fifteen years stand-up comedy has grown quickly in Zagreb and other cities, with clubs, open mics and touring shows.

Typical subjects include family, politics, tourism, neighbours, football and the contrast between the coast and the continent. On GiggleTime you can browse comedians from Croatia, read their profiles in your own language and discover the performers behind Croatian humour.
