Frollein Laughter – English comedy showcase

Every fortnight at Frollein Laughter we’ll bring you 4 of the best comedians the Berlin English comedy scene has to offer… each giving you the most pleasurable 12 minutes you could possibly have in a bar in Berlin on a Monday night.

This is a pay-what-you-want event and we’ll ask for donations at the end – so if you’re generous and like to laugh, we’d love to have you.

The show starts at 7:30ish at the lovely Frollein Langner (Weisestraße 34, 12049), a lovely Berlin kiezzy bar

Hosted by Willy.

Your comedians of the night will be:

★★★

James Coon

James Coon has been a regular on the Berlin comedy scene since early 2015. Along with two full-run one-hour solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe (2018 and 2019), he has also performed in Bangkok, Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Dublin, Cincinnati, and Chicago. As the oldest living comedian in the Berlin English-language scene (potential rivals to that distinction having already died), James has garnered accolades far and wide. Come and see for yourself!

★★★

Simone O’Donovan

Simone O’Donovan is an Irish improviser and dabbler in stand-up and storytelling. Her comedy tends to evoke wincing, jaw dropping and outright surprise.

★★★

Palma Palacios

Classy, sassy, mostly just gassy. Finalist at the Berlin New stand-up Awards 2023, Palma is the loud high-energy latina your funny bone was missing. Master of deadpan, Palma’s storytelling combines thought provoking dark humor with everyday basic banter. She performs comedy in English and Spanish and in both languages tries to find the difference between having something to say and having to say something…funny
