★★★The legendary midnight show at Berlin's oldest comedy club is back!★★★Every week Berlin comedy stalwart Drew Portnoy invites two of the Hauptstadt's best stand-up comics to join him in a non-stop, one-hour show.MC: Carmen ChraimFeaturing:Liliana VelasquezDavid HaileyDoors: 11 p.m.Show: 11:30 (ish)Tix: €8/€6 (Students)Produced by Checkpoint Comedy and Andrew Bulkeley★★★ Liliana Velasquez ★★★Liliana Velasquez has crossed borders all her life. Raised in Miami, Medellin and New Jersey, there is no role she cannot play and her comedy reflects this extravagant mix in her Latina-tude: Catholic guilt and American dreaming. As an adult, Liliana recklessly explored NYC, slipping in and out of different art forms, costumes and jobs. She has so many outrageous stories to tell, it would horrify her proud parents.Only now do they admire her comedic outlook on so many mistakes. Always hungry for new challenges, Liliana soon found another platform for the performance that is her life: Berlin Neukölln. She is proud to be queer and not perfect, and enjoys waking up in the afternoon.★★★ David Hailey ★★★★★★ Carmen Chraim (Guest MC) ★★★Born and raised in Lebanon, she wins over crowds with her high energy presence & rapid-fire anecdotes. Thanks to her Middle Eastern background, passion for hummus, deep experience with corporate Germans and sarcastic political views, she’s often seen as an alternative Arab success story that hasn’t yet been discovered by the media.Carmen used to produce many popular comedy shows in Berlin, but got so tired of trying to decipher Facebook ad algorithms, that she stopped being a producer and found herself hosting the very cool open mic Monday Night Mics every - guess what day? - in Neukölln .
