Johnny Armstrong is a quick-fire one-liner comedian from England’s deep, dark North.

He is known for his unique brand of black humor delivered with a hefty portion of self-deprecation. A veteran of the London comedy circuit, he has taken Germany by storm with TV appearances and sold-out shows across the mainland. Many say that he has internalized the Monty Pythons, but it looks more like he’s eaten them.

Johnny has made quite a name for himself performing in German and we’re very excited to be able to present him performing in his native English!

Test your German and check out Johnny performing Ein dicker Hipster in Stuttgart:

CLEVER. The live comedy panel game show with Berlin’s funniest comedians!

Covering a wide range of games, puzzles and topics, this is Berlin’s best and only live game show.

A correct answer will get you points… unless someone gives a funnier one. At the end of the day, being the smartest or funniest isn’t enough: in this exhilarating, interactive comedy quiz you have to be CLEVER to win!

Featuring contestants Paul Salamone, Bjørn Harras and Matilde Keizer!

Berlin’s own Good Luck, Barbara! brings their special blend of long-form improvised comedy

A suggestion or two from you sparks 60 minutes of first rate tomfoolery – hilarious scenes interspersed with true-to-life monologues. Pretty much anything can happen, and it’s all made up before your very eyes by some of the best
improvisers this city’s got to offer.

Formed in 2013, Good Luck, Barbara! is a long-form improv group that performs regularly across Berlin.

In recent years, Berlin’s transformation into the cultural capital of Europe has also brought about an explosion of English-language comedy.

While most open mics and showcases feature stand-up comedy in bar venues, ETB | IPAC’s monthly International Comedy Showcase combines international headliners with multiple forms of comedy by local artists, including stand-up, short-form and long-form improv as well as musical comedy in our gorgeous 120-seat auditorium.

Featuring headliner Isak Jansson (Sweden), musical  guest A Spoonful of Deutschland (USA/Ireland/Germany) and improv comedy by ComedySportz Berlin, hosted by Chris Davis (Scotland)  and curated by Paul Salamone (USA)

What do you get when you combine three very nerdy tour guides, one hairy Scottish musician, far too many beers and a smoky basement bar in Berlin’s red light district? A Spoonful of Deutschland is the musical comedy project which explains the ins and outs of German history (sorry Poland), through the medium of song. Songs designed to subliminally impose Western capitalist ideals upon children the world over. But we digress… Summer Banks, Matti Geyer and Barry McKeon have been pulling at this unlikely thread for quite some time now, perform regularly around Berlin and even made a trip to Leipzig, much like Napoleon. The songs might sound familiar – if this is the case, it is pure coincidence. No really – don’t tell the mouse.
