2.5.26 - Z-Bar -Live English Comedy about the News: The New Dark Times

We tried writing jokes, but reality got there first. Every headline is funnier than anything we could come up with—so we’re giving up. Instead, we’re bringing uninformed, unhinged, and morally bankrupt comedians to tear into current events, world disasters, and whatever fresh hell the world has cooked up this week.

Featuring zero or more of the following segments:

🗞️ The Opinion Column: Should we legalize duels to fix Berlin’s rent crisis? Is World War 3 actually just a great reset button? Two comedians with zero qualifications argue like it’s Christmas dinner at your racist uncle’s house..

📰 Did This Really Happen? A game where comics try to guess which insane headlines are real and which AI made up. Spoiler: Reality is always worse.

No experts. No solutions. Just dark, reckless comedy about the horrors of right now. The world’s burning— let's roast some god damned sausages.

The lineup is posted and kept up to date and dark-mo.de/events

Doors: 22:15

Show: 22:30-23:45

YOUR HOST: NIR GOTTLEID (@thenireast):

Nir Gottleid (@thenireast on instagram) is an Israeli comic who has performed in the throughout Europe, the US, and Israel. He has come to Germany to, as he says, “make Germans feel uncomfortable as a form of reparations”; he would prefer to date Germans to achieve his goal, but sadly German women have intelligence, common sense, and eyes — therefore he’s forced to do comedy instead. His combination of dark humor, self-deprecation, and obscene “dad jokes” will leave him in stitches, because you are very likely to stab him after his set.

" has a command of the traditional pace, rhythms and tightly written gags of stand-up that assure you that you’re in capable hand", "a flair for gags that make you wince and laugh in equal measure", "a self loathing stoner" - Chortle, UK

Nir has been touring Europe, and has produced multiple successful shows such as “The Berlin Offensive”, “Schindler’s Fist”, and more. He is widely regarded as the darkest comedian in the English comedy scene in Germany and more than meets that expectation by awkwardly talking to audiences about things he most definitely shouldn’t be talking about.

His first solo show, “The Revenge of the Jew-Di” is a 60 to 90 minute exploration of holocaust puns, the life of an Israeli expat in Germany, dating in modern day Berlin, and more. It is currently on tour in Germany and Europe and you can get tickets and see show times here!

Nir is touring with his second solo show as well, "Middle Rage", and talks about the fun sides of depression, anxiety, cats, hate crimes dating as a single old man, and the bitterness rage and feeling of acceptance that can only come with a life exhaustively lived.
