Dark Mode #101 – The Loose Stool Dark Comedy Open Mic

Comedians excreting the darkest, deepest filth from within their bowels! A dark comedy open mic unlike any other. Hosted by Nir Gottleid.

Dark Mode is the dark comedy show Berlin deserves. Born from the ashes of the infamous Berlin Offensive, we’ve spent over six years giving a stage to the jokes most people are too scared to tell. Holocaust gags? Dead baby jokes? That’s just the warm-up. If you love comedy that pushes boundaries and makes you wonder if you’ll need to apologize for laughing, you’re in the right place. This is where dark humor thrives—no filters, no limits, and definitely no safe spaces.

Welcome to The Loose Stool! Berlin’s darkest, dirtiest open mic night where quality control is left at the bathroom door. Unlike the premium polish of Dark Stars, this is where aspiring comedians and the most shameless performers come to let loose—and we mean really loose. Think of it as the back alley to Dark Stars’ fancy dinner party.
If you’re expecting refined, well-crafted jokes, then Loose Stool is not for you. This is an open mic, people. We have no idea what’s going to come out—some jokes will kill, and others will stink like, well, stool. But that’s part of the fun. It’s unpredictable, it’s chaotic, and most importantly, it’s fun!

Hosted by Nir Gottleid, the man who has made a career out of making Germans uncomfortable, Loose Stool is both a disaster and a delight. Nir has dragged himself back from touring Europe to personally watch your soul shrivel as you laugh at jokes you’d never dare repeat in public. And honestly, that’s what makes this open mic so fun.

So, if you’ve got a twisted sense of humor, a strong stomach, and no problem with moral ambiguity, Loose Stool is the comedy cesspool you’ve been waiting for. Brace yourself for a night of chaos, comedy, and probably a few things you’ll regret hearing.

Nir is touring with his second solo show as well, “Middle Rage”, and talks about the fun sides of depression, anxiety, cats, hate crimes dating as a single old man, and the bitterness rage and feeling of acceptance that can only come with a life exhaustively lived.

Join us for an evening where we laugh at the things you’re not supposed to. “Dark Stars” isn’t just a comedy show; it’s where we make sure you feel the right kind of pain.

At “Dark Stars,” we light up the night with comedy that just like favorite cup of coffee: dark, bitter, and based on centuries of racial oppression.

Looking for the latest on who’s daring to tread the dark comedy stage at Dark Stars? Our lineups rotate faster than a comedian’s mood swings! To catch the freshest faces in dark humor, keep an eye on our social media @darkmodecomedy and @thenireast as well as our website at https://dark-mo.de

OUR LINEUP FOR THIS SHOW:

Tamer Kattan – https://tamerkattan.com/

Tamer Kattan is a powerhouse of a comedian who sharpened his skills over 13 years across Los Angeles, NYC & London. Now based in Berlin, Tamer was recently featured on Seth Rogen’s Hilarity for Charity event with Todd Glass and Hannibal Buress in the U.S. He is the winner of The World Series of Comedy, Comedy Knockout on truTV, “Best of Fest” at Big Pine Comedy Festival, The Portland Comedy Festival and multiple others. He holds several TV & Radio credits on BBC and SkyTV in the UK as well as in the U.S. on Fox, HULU, Netflix, Amazon & truTV. In 2022 he joined the writing staff of the soon to be released animated series “Tantrum Jesus” as Writer/Producer.

Freddi Gralle – https://freddigralle.com

As a German pastor’s daughter, the first stages Freddi Gralle spent much time on were those in church. She later ditched the church for comedy, but kept the judgy vibe. Equipped with friendly arrogance, Freddi deep-dives into the existential questions around god, sex and German humor. Her voice is delightfully sarcastic with a strong preference for the auto-biographic.

Freddi has performed all over Germany, in the US, AT, CZ, F and appeared on Germany’s Comedy Central, Nightwash and SKY One. She is also a tv writer for the Late Night Show “Shapira! Shapira!”.

It’s my birthday and I’ll laugh if I want to. Come see some of Berlin’s best and weirdest comics perform and roast each other.
Dark Mode is Berlin’s premium and most venerable dark comedy show – come for the pain, stay for the laughs.

Why is this show here? Because it’s my birthday party, and on my birthday I want the most horrible nastiest human beings to ever exist to make fun of you, me and the world.

Get ready for something strong and unforgiving. Welcome to Dark Roast, where comedy goes blacker than your morning coffee and the jokes are as bitter as a Berlin bureaucrat.

This open mic event is a blend of the darkest comedy Berlin has to offer, with a few extra scoops of sarcasm, irony, and just a dash of existential dread.

What to Expect: Comedians from all walks of life will take the stage to deliver the most unfiltered, raw, and downright hilarious dark humor. No topic is too taboo. No boundary too sacred. After a short set, they will make fun of the birthday boy. The birthday boy will then retaliate.

The Best Part?
It’s free! Yes, you heard that right—entry is on the house. No need to stress about door fees or breaking the bank, just come in, sit down, and let the laughs wash over you like a bitter cup of life.

Get ready for a night where nothing and no one is safe from the fire—this is Dark Roast.

YOUR HOST: NIR GOTTLEID (@thenireast):

Nir Gottleid (@thenireast on instagram) is an Israeli comic who has performed in the throughout Europe, the US, and Israel. He has come to Germany to, as he says, “make Germans feel uncomfortable as a form of reparations”; he would prefer to date Germans to achieve his goal, but sadly German women have intelligence, common sense, and eyes — therefore he’s forced to do comedy instead. His combination of dark humor, self-deprecation, and obscene “dad jokes” will leave him in stitches, because you are very likely to stab him after his set.

“has a command of the traditional pace, rhythms and tightly written gags of stand-up that assure you that you’re in capable hand”, “a flair for gags that make you wince and laugh in equal measure”, “a self loathing stoner” – Chortle, UK

Nir has been touring Europe, and has produced multiple successful shows such as “The Berlin Offensive”, “Schindler’s Fist”, and more. He is widely regarded as the darkest comedian in the English comedy scene in Germany and more than meets that expectation by awkwardly talking to audiences about things he most definitely shouldn’t be talking about.

His first solo show, “The Revenge of the Jew-Di” is a 60 to 90 minute exploration of holocaust puns, the life of an Israeli expat in Germany, dating in modern day Berlin, and more. It is currently on tour in Germany and Europe and you can get tickets and see show times here!

Nir is touring with his second solo show as well, “Middle Rage“, and talks about the fun sides of depression, anxiety, cats, hate crimes dating as a single old man, and the bitterness rage and feeling of acceptance that can only come with a life exhaustively lived.
