About this Event

🎭 Originally from Ukraine, Dima has been living in Germany for the last 10 years. But don’t worry – he hasn’t been there long enough to lose his sense of humour. And yes, Watermelon is his real last name, simply translated into English.

  • “Deadpan Absurdity” — Stewart Lee, The Guardian
  • “Immensely likable stage presence and sharp storytelling” — SLEEC Reviews
  • “Did you write it yourself?” — Dima's mom

😂 Expect spicy jokes and ridiculous life stories about becoming German, online dating, mindfulness, interracial relationships, and other significant subjects. No topic is off-limits or too soon.


This show will exceed your expectations.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Audience Reviews from Instagram :
  • "Very very funny! Highly recommended! I haven't laughed like this in a long time." © Sasha
  • "Dima is fantastic and he created a great atmosphere, it felt intimate, like we were amongst friends who knew each other already, so we could afford to laugh about more taboo topics." © Sebastian
  • "When we saw that only the front row seats were left, I knew we were in trouble 😀 but I’m so happy we ended up exactly there because Dima’s interaction with the public is fire." © Luminita

🇺🇦🍉 Dima is a Ukrainian stand-up comedian who has been living in Germany for the past 9 years. But don’t worry – he hasn’t been there long enough to lose his sense of humor. His unique comedic style is a mix of absurdity, social commentary, and some allegedly inappropriate jokes. And yes, Watermelon is his real last name, simply translated into English.

Dima has performed in more than 30 countries, including renowned locations such as the Gotham Comedy Club in New York, the Comedy Store London, and Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Living in three different countries and visiting over forty, Dima is no longer simply Ukrainian, but not quite European either. Stuck in this absurd cultural limbo, he finds laughter is his best coping mechanism.
