Laugh Riot

21/12/2019

Laugh Riot! will take a break this month and be back in action on January 28th. This year had the best last Tuesdays of the month I could have ever dreamed of - thanks to everyone who was a part of that! 🤩😍

24/07/2019

Lineup for Tuesday (30.07): Tom Stuart, Ciarán Dold, Alexsandra Norton, Vidura Rajapaksa, Grace Jung, and Dima Arbooze! It's gonna be a wild ride!🤪

Dear Laugh Riot! fans of the past, present, and future: A lot of shows take a break in the summer. I did not have this foresight. Although it still felt like strange, fun magic, there were a total of two people in the audience for the second half of this month's show, granted it was extremely hot outside. Next month, the show will go on, but especially because the headliner will be coming from out of town, I want to make sure there are at least three people watching him. What can I do to guarantee your attendance on July 30th? Massages? Ice pops? Drugs? All suggestions welcome.

21/06/2019

Lineup for Tuesday: Julieta's Comedy, STEVE, Vidura Rajapaksa, and our headliner for the evening, Ian Mbelle! Very excited to have the (unofficial) Laugh Riot Residents on board! 🥳

24/05/2019

Lineup for Tuesday: Nour Hos, Julieta Dgc, Ian Mbelle, Naama Kun, & Richard Killiam! And of course our special guest: Trevor Silverstein!!!

I am still on a cloud after Tuesday's show. Thanks to everyone who came out and to the comedians who knocked our sock clean off. It was a perfect note to end on before a little break. Have hilarious holidays and see you on January 29th! 😍

Dear attendees from last night's show, I can't thank you enough for contributing to such a wonderful evening. The show is funny because you guys are so fun and participative. I would write you all personal love letters if I had your addresses, but Datenschutz, etc. LAUGH RIOT LIVES!!!

24/04/2018

Danny & Spencer

TONIGHT! Come see Danny & Spencer perform at LAUGH RIOT! 20:00! Don't miss out!

Danny & Spencer! Two hapless Celtic comedians try their very best to bring YOU Berlin's (maybe even the world's) ONLY (late-night talk) show.

27/02/2018

Join us tonight at 8PM. We have a show full of laughter and kindness.

Tonights headliner is nonother than James Coon. We will get to know about James, not only through his set, but Courtney has also invited him up for an interview and it will most certainly be interesting.

For as James stated: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with one wrong turn."

Let's see how wrong this turn will be

27/02/2018

Tonight we also have the honor of meeting the funny und extravagant Rohit Bhatia.

Funny fact: The only time he is not wearing sunglasses is when he perform on stage.

26/02/2018

Tomorrow we will also have the honor of meeting Ian Mbelle on stage.

When we asked Ian about a funny fact, he told us: " I am fluent in the language of fictional sh*t hole nation, Wakanda! "

And we are for sure happy to have him on our sh*t hole show.

See you at 8 PM. It's gonna be dope.

Next week we have the honor of having Amyra te Nij visiting our show. It's her first time performing on Laugh Riot! and we are very excited about having her on.

Random fact about Amyra: she loves red cabbage a lot. Some would argue too much. Since The beginning of November of 2017 she hasn’t gone a week without eating red cabbage.

There you go folks. We told you it was random. If Amyra is going to tell us about her Cabbage tale, we don't know, but we are excited to see her on tuesday. Show start 8PM.

More about the event here:

Tuesday is going to be -4 degrees. But studies have shown that laughing in the back of a bar increases your body temperature astronomically. So, please don't think twice about coming out and warming up with us!!!

24/01/2018

This months line-up will be nonother than Ben MacLean, Julieta Dgc, Nour Hos and Michael Hackett Comedy – With your hosts Courtney June O'Connell and Rune Hugossøn Pedersen.

See you on Tuesday the 30th at 8pm (doors 7.30)!

Wondering why more comedy shows don't write a KONZEPT? The wait is over:

We need you to laugh at us. You need to laugh more. We need each other. But we don’t just want your donations and looks of pity; your self-deprecation and your dick jokes. We want to know you. We want to have a one night stand inside of an open relationship with you.

Rune and Courtney will be your hosts on the last Tuesday of every month. Courtney was such an asshole in high school that she’s overcompensating by taking the stage and being really nice to people who she could easily rip apart. Rune has always been this nice because he’s from Denmark. We ask our comedians to bring their most honest material, their most conscious material. If they make us crack up more often than they demean women, they get a free drink. If they fail to do that, they also get a free drink. Because that’s the kind of show we are.

Each week, we’ll hear stand-up from four comedians. In every show we’ll explore a different theme via interviews with an audience member as well as our headliner.

In the name of consensual participation, inclusion, agency, human rights, non-violence, hedonistic communism, and poly-audience love, we invite you to join us on the last Tuesday of every month to get high on endorphins with us through the joyful art of riotous laughter.

Dear millions of fans across the world,
Due to a series of budget cuts, new legislation, and some downsizing, from here on out, rather than once a week, we will be rioting once a month. I know this may come as a shock to many of you, but we promise that all of the energy from the first 3 or 4 Tuesdays of each month will be packed into THE LAST TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH, BEGINNING ON JANUARY 30TH!!! Bring a date, bring your mom, bring cookies because THE RIOT CONTINUES AND IS MORE RARE THAN EVER. Post below for spots and we'll announce the limited edition lineup one week before the show.

08/01/2018

Dear Everyone! Your Laugh Riot! crew is taking a break tomorrow the 9th of Jan. Getting our nails "did" as prep for the rest of January and fine-tuning our show for the future. See you next week!

10/12/2017

LaughRiot! Is back this Tuesday in RotBart with a LUST edition of the show. Come down and share your darkest desires with a room full of strangers and an awesome line up of comics.
