An experience worth experiencing in Berlin. Cosmic Comedy Club holds at least three variety shows a week, with their Thursday night shows being open mic, while their Friday and Saturday night shows feature more prominent comedians. Due to our travel plans, we could only attend the Thursday night show in which tickets needed to be bought in advance. We purchased the VIP tickets which gave us a couple of free shots and vegetarian/vegan pizza and our own table. The pizza is free for each ticket, VIP or not, while the shots seemed to only be free for the purchase of VIP tickets. However, if you're lucky, there is a chance that free shots are given out to everyone for a short period of time. There is also a small bar in the vicinity of the comedy club, for an hour between 7-8pm, you'd be able to purchase as much promotional alcohol as you want, but prices return to full price from 8pm till the end of the show. There are also small snacks you can purchase from the bar, snacks like chocolate bars, peanuts and other hand held food. Due to our travel plans, we could only attend their open mic show on Thursday, and we were surprised by how packed it was. The show was great and we had a great time, although open mic, the comedians did put on a good show and so they deserve double thumbs up for the effort. The only downside was how cramped the place was. Our table was at the front and corner of the stage, and so our chairs were squashed between the table next to us and one directly behind us. It was inconvenient to stand up, head to the toilet or even get to the bar. But it was clear that they had to pack as many chairs and tables as possible to accommodate the sheer number of people there. The entry fee is not at all pricey, even the VIP tickets were extremely affordable and worthwhile, not to forget you receive free shots and pizza. Hence, it is understandable that they need to cover the costs by selling tickets and having as many people as possible with each show. The audiences were friendly, even though we did not know anyone in Berlin, the other attendees were easy to talk to and open to small talk. Everyone is there to have a laugh and a good time, and that is exactly where you'll be able to experience the light hearted side of Berlin. It was a good close...
Read moreGood night, but a bit of a mixed review here. I always try to be as fair as possible, so will split it out below.
Pros: all staff are extremely friendly and welcoming felt like a very safe venue drinks and food are extremely reasonably priced pizza was great! It’s only one slice so have dinner beforehand toilets are clean super busy and has a great atmosphere good happy hour from 7-8pm
Cons: you pay more for a guaranteed table seat and ‘VIP’ package - but when the pizza comes you are given it last due to the seats being at the back, when it’s cold and there’s not much choice left - not much of a VIP package there. it’s 2 hours long but it didn’t feel like the comedians were on very long, maybe 6-8 mins each maximum the price vs performance ratio felt a bit off. For €25 I’d have expected longer and stronger performances. Some of the comedians were repeating sets, which is a shame if you’ve been...
Read moreAfter visiting the Cosmic Comedy night I've learnt that pizza and comedy is actually a match made in heaven (and the oven). Not just the obvious comparisons like being well done without too much cheese, or something for everyones' taste, although that is also true. What I found different about this show is that the smiley faces aren't just restricted to the bits on stage. The hosts at the door obviously love comedy and have created a regular event where we can all join in and laugh at the outside World. Standard of comedy is good, and style of performance varies, which works well with the mix of expats; locals and visitors to Berlin that you will find in the audience. And for starters, there are free shots when you arrive, plus slices of pizza if you go down at the beginning of the night. It's friendly, funny and only a few euros of your...
