Berlin Cringe Festival 2024: Laugh Through the Longest Night 
On December 20th and 21st, the darkest nights of the year meet Berlin’s darkest comedy at the Berlin Cringe Festival 2024. Held at the iconic Z-Bar Berlin, this two-night extravaganza will celebrate all things awkward, twisted, and hilariously wrong—because when the sun says goodbye, the cringe comes out to play.
What to Expect:
Ticketed and Free Shows: Like life, some things cost money, and some are free—except this time, you’ll actually enjoy it.
Best of Cringe Finale: The festival’s most uncomfortable moments in one glorious late-night show.
Z-Bar’s Intimate Chaos: Cozy, gritty, and powered by Berlin’s finest cheap drinks.

About Dark Mode:
Born from Berlin’s original dark comedy show The Berlin Offensive, Dark Mode has been delivering twisted laughs since 2017. With Nir Gottleid at the helm (a man who somehow makes awkwardness an art form), it’s comedy for those who like their humor dark, bold, and just plain wrong.
Why Cringe?
Because nothing’s funnier than the truth. The Berlin Cringe Festival takes your guilty pleasures and your darkest thoughts and puts them on stage—where they belong. Think confessional comedy meets a train wreck you can’t look away from.
Tickets and Admission:
Ticketed Shows: Buy online to guarantee your spot (and save yourself the door drama).
Free Shows: First come, first cringe.
This winter solstice, skip the seasonal cheer and come laugh in the dark. If you’re not laughing, you’re crying—and honestly, who has the emotional energy for that?
