What do colonoscopies and asparagus have in common? Easy, they’re both premises for genocide jokes. A dark comedy show for awful people!

Welcome to “Dark Stars” – the home of comedy that’s not afraid of the dark and shines a spotlight into the shadows. We dive deep into topics others shy away from. Hosted by Nir Gottleid, a master of dark humor, every show is an adventure into humor’s wild side.

This Saturday we have The Revenge of the Jewdi – a comedy show that has been staged throughout Central Europe by our very own host and producer Nir:

About ‘The Revenge of the Jewdi’: Brace yourself for ‘The Revenge of the Jewdi,’ where Nir Gottleid, an Israeli comic in Germany, mercilessly blurs the line between taboo and hilarity. Join us in a show jam-packed with holocaust jokes, takes on asparagus, colonoscopies, and the German anmeldung process with a no-holds-barred approach to comedy. It’s not just dark humor; it’s a comedic black hole that sucks you in for 60-90 minutes of raw, unapologetic laughs.

Nir’s comedy is like walking a tightrope over a minefield. He takes those dark, twisted thoughts we all have but never say, and blasts them out loud. Where the forbidden is fodder for fun, and nothing is too sacred for a punchline. The Revenge of the Jewdi tackles both history and current events with a blend of bold, brazen, and just plain wrong.

The show is a slap in the face with a joke. Perfect for those who laugh in the face of the grim, the serious, and the downright tragic. Nir doesn’t just push the envelope – he rips it up. So, gather your mates, check your sensitivities at the door, and get ready for a comedy show that’s part confession, part confrontation. Played across Europe to audiences who can’t decide whether to applaud or avert their eyes, ‘The Revenge of the Jewdi’ promises to be as uncomfortably entertaining as it sounds.

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

NOTE THE TIME CHANGE: Doors are at 21:00 – show starts at 21:30!

ABOUT 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.

ABOUT DARK MODE:

Dark Mode is Berlin’s premiere prime time Dark Comedy destination – and is produced and hosted by Nir Gottleid. You can find out all about Dark Mode here: https://dark-mo.de

An engaging comedy staging about aging and raging. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll want to die. Nir Gottleid’s second solo hour!

After a two year plus hiatus including a pandemic, team changes, and more – Europe’s premiere dark comedy show in English is BACK.

Dark Mode Prime Time features an all pro lineup of non-stop cavalcade of offensive humour, holocaust jokes, and vivid discussions of necrophilia. Comics will take to the stage to discuss such wide ranging topics from pediatric cancer to why Germans love asparagus so much. Comics on the Prime Time show are typically professional comedians who have extensive touring experience & TV credits. This is not your standard Berlin open mic.

This prime time show features our own host Nir Gottleid with his second solo “Middle Rage” after a 12 show run at the Edinburgh Fringe and several performances with it around Berlin – just before going on another 5 show run at the Brighton Fringe!

ABOUT MIDDLE RAGE:

Being in your 20s is glorious; being in your 30s is a joy. Being in your 40s sucks, because your 40s are when you finally realize all the things you’ve done wrong in your life so far. Nir Gottleid, Berlin’s darkest comic, shares his feelings about turning 40 – 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 belatedly realizing how thoroughly you fouled up your life until now. Not for the faint of heart! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll want to die.

Dark Off Semi Finals!
Brace yourselves for the ultimate showdown in dark comedy, as Dark Mode presents the Dark Off Semi-Finals! From the depths of over 30 contenders, 10 dark humor virtuosos have emerged, ready to battle it out for a spot in the grand finale. But they’re not just fighting for glory; they’re here to prove they can out-dark the darkest.

These semi-finalists are the crème de la crème of dark comedy, having survived the grueling heats where only the boldest, most twisted humor could stand out. Now, they face their toughest challenge yet. With only two spots in each semi-final leading to the finals, the stakes are as high as the laughs are deep.

And there’s a twist in the tale — the finalists will have to go head-to-head with none other than the reigning champion of darkness, Abi Mohanty. Abi’s not just defending a title; they’re the benchmark of bleak, the yardstick of yikes, the measure of morose that every challenger aims to outdo.

So, what’s it going to be? A night where the shadows of comedy envelop you, laughter echoes through the darkness, and the lines of decency are not just crossed but obliterated. Prepare for a spectacle where the humor is so dark, you’ll need a flashlight to find your way back to sanity.

Remember, your votes are the beacon that guides these comedic ships through the night. Who will have the honor of challenging Abi Mohanty in the final battle of wit and woe? Only the darkest, most daring humor will prevail.

The Dark Off Semi-Finals: Where comedy is no laughing matter… except, it’s exactly that, but darker, deeper, and definitely more deranged. Join us for an unforgettable journey into the heart of darkness — where the only thing more terrifying than the jokes is the thought of missing out on this epic battle of the bleak.

YOUR SEMIFINALISTS:
Nikolai Binner – @nikolaibinner – Nikolai Binner was born & grew up in a small town in Hesse. Born from an inner turmoil, an irrepressible urge for freedom & truth matured in him, which led him on an almost fanatical search. He lived and studied with ayahuasca shamans in the Amazon rainforest and delved deep into spiritual practices, always in search of the truth and the perfect penis joke.

Sofia May – @sofiamaycomedy – Sofia May was raised in NYC on a strict diet of REN and Stimpy and bad boundaries. She likes to tell dark jokes about cutesy things and cutesy jokes about dark things.

Araz Slangue – @enlightenedjoint – commonly described by his contemporaries as “who dafuq is that guy” and “omg, no.”, araz has been steadily conquering the berlin comedy scene one bomb at a time. thinks self-deprecating jokes is the way to go because he’s seen the last battle in the movie 8 mile and “it was awesome!”.

Sugumar Chandrasekaran – @comedy_soo_goo – Sugumar is a Berlin based comedian who started doing stand-up as an alternative to going to therapy. His jokes are a wild mix of dark, silly and downright absurd.

Prateek Jajoo – did not bother giving us a bio – so – you’ll have to guess 🙂

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.

What do colonoscopies and asparagus have in common? Easy, they’re both premises for genocide jokes. A dark comedy show for awful people!

Welcome to “Dark Stars” – the home of comedy that’s not afraid of the dark and shines a spotlight into the shadows. We dive deep into topics others shy away from. Hosted by Nir Gottleid, a master of dark humor, every show is an adventure into humor’s wild side.

This Saturday we have The Revenge of the Jewdi – a comedy show that has been staged throughout Central Europe by our very own host and producer Nir:

About ‘The Revenge of the Jewdi’: Brace yourself for ‘The Revenge of the Jewdi,’ where Nir Gottleid, an Israeli comic in Germany, mercilessly blurs the line between taboo and hilarity. Join us in a show jam-packed with holocaust jokes, takes on asparagus, colonoscopies, and the German anmeldung process with a no-holds-barred approach to comedy. It’s not just dark humor; it’s a comedic black hole that sucks you in for 60-90 minutes of raw, unapologetic laughs.

Nir’s comedy is like walking a tightrope over a minefield. He takes those dark, twisted thoughts we all have but never say, and blasts them out loud. Where the forbidden is fodder for fun, and nothing is too sacred for a punchline. The Revenge of the Jewdi tackles both history and current events with a blend of bold, brazen, and just plain wrong.

The show is a slap in the face with a joke. Perfect for those who laugh in the face of the grim, the serious, and the downright tragic. Nir doesn’t just push the envelope – he rips it up. So, gather your mates, check your sensitivities at the door, and get ready for a comedy show that’s part confession, part confrontation. Played across Europe to audiences who can’t decide whether to applaud or avert their eyes, ‘The Revenge of the Jewdi’ promises to be as uncomfortably entertaining as it sounds.

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

Doors are at 20:00 – show starts at 20:30!

ABOUT 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
