luckykaaAs part of my plan to force myself ot actually not be a hermit, I looked at meetup.com. The comedy group arranged two meetups. Went for one organised by someone I've met because these things are always really hard to find.
So I arrived. The location seemed a little odd. A lobby with a mish mash of signs, some missing. ut the address was right, so I got in the lift and went down to the basement. The door opened. it was blocked! There was nothing but a wall there! At this point I felt "I chose poorly".
So I stepped out and saw another group of slightly confused looking people. We decided to go to a bar to see if they were open later. Went to a kebab shop instead but at least they sell beer. Went back to the venue. They were actually open at this point. So the venue was a dingy club. Actually it was a corridor in a dingy club. And really cold! Plus point is that the bar sold candy floss. One of the oddities in Berlin clubs is they seem to often sell "bier" - a brand with a plain white label tat simply says "bier" on it with a nondescript font.
So the show - it was billed as comedy cabaret but the first chink was just standup, which is the usual mixture you get of ability levels. The last guy was great though. Just a freak show type of thing which involved sticking his hand in a possum trap and his tongue in a mousetrap. For some reason I find that sort of stuff hilarious, despite being so moronic. Or maybe it's because it's so moronic. Also he was being heckled by a load Belfast woman, and he handled it brilliantly!
It's a shame I can't handle late nights. Would have loved to have stayed around for the more cabaret type stuff.
