★★★★★ENGLISH-SPEAKING★★★★★
The role of the fool in society has been a long and noble one with the occasional fart joke tossed in for good measure. Wise Fools is an English comedy show that aims to take the foolhardy honesty and observational acumen of the comedian and aim it squarely at some of the biggest questions and topics to haunt the minds of great thinkers over the last two thousand years or so. The results may not go down in the annals of philosophy but they should amount to a show packed with philosophically tinged funnies with a smidge of thought provocation thrown in as well.
Expect to see English stand-up comedians debate each other and defend positions where more distinguished and slightly more deceased minds have failed, or take your chance to fill the role of the big dude himself and see if you can’t ‘Socratic-method’ one of Berlin’s finest comics into a puddle of existential tears under a hail of incisive or not so incisive audience questions/heckles.
This is an English-language donation-based show so entry is free but we recommend reserving a seat as places go fast.
So if you are looking for a comedy event with stand-up in English this Wednesday, join us to watch some genuine fools aspire to something resembling wisdom.
