?SHOWTIME: 20:30 Uhr?Berlin’s own Drew Portnoy hosts the funniest local and touring English-language comedians at Umspannwerk Ost, a historic power substation built in 1899 in Friedrichshain. Enjoy drinks, draft beer and snacks every other Saturday in a one-of-a-kind theater reminiscent of Berlin’s cabaret-laden.
Comedians:
Drew Portnoy - Drew Portnoy traded the mountains of Colorado for the nightliife of Berlin over a decade ago. Then he became a father. His dry style and sharp tongue have made him a popular comedian throughout Germany and Europe in both German and English. And he was a finalist in Quatsch Comedy Club's annual Talentschmiede and recently won NPR Berlin's storytelling competition.
“He is one of Germany 's best kept secrets. Dry, Shrewd and understated he has the audience in the palm of his hand, with a barely concealed malevolence for all things stupid. He is, to overuse that well worn cliché, a comedian that other comedians love to watch.” -- Logan Murray, comedian and author of Be a Great Stand Up
"The overall quality is invariably raised by stalwarts from the roster of Berlin ’s dedicated homegrown talents ... Drew Portnoy [is among] the best." -- Time Out
Passun Azhand - Passun is 40 and unknown, but extremely funny. Ruthless stand-up comedy from a former war refugee and current bon vivant, who looks at the world without fear in his ironic and mostly foggy way. A Berlin original who has been on the nation's stages for 13 years.
Daniel Stern - From the United States, now based in Berlin; Daniel Stern is a former talk show host, a retired competitive eater, a screenwriter, actor and stand up comedian. Stern's live performances are a manic, sweaty collage of anarchic wit, earnest confessions and stories about riding the bus. His acting resume also includes dramatic roles, voice work and a bit of tasteful partial nudity.
In 2021 Daniel Stern Founded "PodFest Berlin", a grassroots podcasting festival for Berlin's podcast creators and fans.
Daniel podcasts with Berlin news show Radio Spaetkauf and has produced countless live shows with titles like "Motherfudgers", "An Hour on the M41 Bus" or the sort of eponymous "Staniel Dern Show". Stern took last place behind three children in an NBA Summer League half time dance-off.
Chris Davis - Chris Davis is a Berlin based comedian from Glasgow, Scotland. Since 2012 he has grown his stand-up career throughout Europe and beyond finding himself at a multitude of festivals and stages across the globe. With successful solo shows at Edinburgh and Glasgow Fringe festivals, his whacky wit and bouncing hair will, if you permit, traverse you to a wonderful corner of his mind. For your sake, let's hope it's only momentary
