It’s Berlin’s favorite comedy storytelling open mic, now at CCB*!
Hosted by Josh Telson & Michele Guido
Sign up to tell a story below, on Facebook or Comedy in English.
6 to 8 people share with us a true story from their lives that may shock us, excite us, embarrass us or inspire us, but will definitely make us laugh! Our only rules are make it true and make it funny.
FREE ENTRY (donations appreciated)
HANDY TIPS FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN SIGNING UP
- Spots are 5-7 minutes.
- We choose storytellers beforehand but give preference to those who haven’t performed in our show before.
- All storytellers must be vaccinated/recovered and tested before the show!
- We host in English but welcome German stories.
- We love fiction but this is a TRUE STORIES night (so no made up stories or stand up routines, please!).
- Please share stories from your own lives, not someone else’s story.
- We treat others with respect: no racism, no sexism, no homophobia, no transphobia, no bodyshaming (or any other punch-down -isms or -phobias, you get the idea) and, unless you’ve gotten permission, please keep other folks in your stories anonymous or give ‘em fake names.
- For comedians: come workshop your longer bits!
- For writers and poets: come workshop your longer bits, too!
- For everyone: Stories told from memory are preferred. If you MUST read off the page, please talk to us first.
*We’ll move back to our old home TZOM as soon as the pandemic allows – in the meantime, give them some love and treat yourself to a delicious dinner there before the show!
