Schindler’s Fist V: Ori Halevy and Nir Gottleid are back, and they’re working on their new hour shows. FREE ENTRY!

New Material Night with Nir Gottleid & Ori Halevy

📅 Saturday, 3 January 2025

🕗 Doors: 20:00 · Show: 20:30

📍 Z-Bar

💸 Free / Pay What You Want

Schindler’s Fist returns for round five — a dark comedy work-in-progress night where jokes are born, broken, and occasionally abandoned without a note.

This edition features two comics actively developing new solo material and using a real audience instead of therapy:

🎤 Nir Gottleid

Founder of Dark Mode. Known for The Berlin Offensive, Revenge of the Jewdi, and Middle Rage. Sharp, personal, and unapologetically dark stand-up about identity, Germany, aging, and things best discussed in private — but done publicly anyway.

🎤 Ori Halevy

A fast-rising voice in Berlin’s English comedy scene. Ori blends smart writing, cultural whiplash, and dry absurdity — tight jokes delivered with just enough chaos to keep it dangerous.

What to expect:

• Longer sets

• Brand-new material

• Jokes that may evolve, collapse, or be publicly executed

• No polish, no safety net

This is not a showcase.

This is not a greatest-hits night.

This is the workshop before the tour — honest, messy, and occasionally uncomfortable.

🗣 Language: English

🔞 18+

🍸 Full bar before & after

Come early. Sit close. Pay what you want.

Watch comedy being built in real time.

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.
