Dark Mode is an iteration and re-imagining of Europe’s longest running dark comedy show – “The Berlin Offensive” – we have been running these shows since 2017 and we’re still going strong!
The Prime Time edition 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.
Our Comics This Show:
Alvin Liu (@alvincomedy):
Alvin Liu started doing English comedy in Shanghai, China in front of expat English teachers and Chinese students who are there to learn English. Fortunately with his childhood trauma and keen observation of weird people, he started touring the country and in 2022 moved to London. “I like talking about the difference between China and Europe and I be funny with it.” Since moving to the UK he’s performed at Top Secret, Backyard, the Comedy Store and brought his solo show First World Eyebrows to the Edinburgh Fringe.
Eyal Wartelsky (@eyalwartelsky, @twojewscomedy):
Eyal Wartelsky is an Israeli-Jewish Stand-Up Comedian who has been performing in Berlin since 2019. He is part of the musical comedy duo Two Jews. His comedy is autobiographical and introspective but also tries to find humor in the darker and absurd aspects of life.
Sepideh (@sepcomedy):
Sepideh is an Iranian stand-up comedian based in Berlin. She grew up in the Middle East, spoiled by oil money and patriarchy, and came to Europe to pursue her dream of becoming an average engineer. Her humor has been described as dark and gross but eye-opening.
Ori Halevy (@orihalevy_bigoldjew)
Ori Halevy is a well known Israeli and international TV and Cinema writer and standup comedian. His funny “go for broke” improvisational style has him performing every night in different venues in Berlin and throughout Europe and Asia.

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.
