You've survived the holidays, now it's time to kick off 2020 with a night of incredible comedy at the friendliest venue in Berlin!
We're Schöneberg's #1 English comedy showcase! Hosted by Ben MacLean, a Canadian bureaucrat-turned-comedian (and trolly dolly), we bring you a show where the comedy's edgy and intelligent but the atmosphere is always laidback. It goes without saying: we're queer-positive (and hetero-friendly).
Just a five-minute walk from Yorckstraße, Kleistpark and Julius-Leber-Brücke stations at the charming AHA, where the drinks are cheap and the vibe is always super welcoming.
FREE ENTRY (donations encouraged)
This month our hand-picked comics who'll be bringing the funny are...
SCOTT REYNOLDS (CAN)
COURTNEY JUNE O'CONNELL (USA)
And our wonderful headliner...
LENA STOLBY (RUS)
Check out their bios below.
You'll also have a chance to win fun prizes at Berlin's craziest halftime quiz. It's crazy because it's so easy you could practically do it in your sleep!
*****
SCOTT REYNOLDS was born and raised in Toronto, and moved to Germany in 2013 to pursue graduate studies in classical music. He began performing comedy in the summer of 2018, and quickly began winning over audiences by drawing on his unique perspective as a white, straight male with a middle-class suburban upbringing.
COURTNEY JUNE O'CONNELL won the best storytelling award in 1990 in Ms. Piazza’s nursery school on Long Island, New York, where she was born and raised. She went on to be voted "best sense of humor" in 8th grade and "class clown" in 12th grade. Over ten years later, she took to the stage and currently produces Laugh Riot!, a monthly show in Neukölln featuring stand-up, improvised stand-up, and interviews with audience members as well as comedians.
LENA STOLBY is a Russian comedian who is good at talking and bad at life. She started sharing the stories of her failures years ago back in Moscow, but once her mum showed up to one of her performances, she was forced to escape to Europe and switch to English. Since then the external politics of Russia have changed drastically... A coincidence? Totally. She was also born on 9/11. She is allergic to cats and will tell you about the approaching end of the world and her relationship with it.
