This comedy night is an intersectional attempt by a Queer POC producer herself to pass the mic & expand the vibrant, diverse international English comedy scene in Berlin even further and create a safe, inclusive, paid, accessible and a fun stage for BIPOC and/or Queer artists with different comedy styles to share their craft. It is also a space to experiment and play with different genres of comedy like - musical comedy, improv comedy, storytelling comedy, sketch comedy, satire, spoken word and stand up comedy to name a few.
The event is hosted by Berlin based, internationally touring and critically acclaimed independent standup comedian Anshita Koul from India. Anshita is also the co-founder of Clit Comedy Club and Festrogen Comedy Festival in Luxembourg. When she is not touring, they are performing, headlining, hosting and producing multiple comedy shows in Berlin under the collective Overthink Comedy Club.
Seen on the Indian reality TV show Queens of Comedy 2017, Funny Women Stage Awards 2022 in the UK and most recently as the opening act for Emmy Award Winner Vir Das’s European tour 2024, Anshita has created a name for themselves in the English comedy scene in Europe for creating intentional, political and thriving comedy spaces. And they like to lead by example with their political satires, punch up routines and a funny itch to decolonise standup comedy.
Anshita is touring with her new comedy storytelling special ‘Where Is Your Husband?’ It has just won the SoHo Playhouse award at Thessaloniki Fringe Festival and has been invited to a 2 week run off Broadway in New York City from Jan 21st to Feb 1st, 2026!
She is performing the final show of their EU tour in Berlin on Dec 13. Tickets here!

NEW LINEUP EVERY MONTH! This month featuring:
Shams : sassy, nasty, and extra halal spicy. A Syrian with other troubling identities and the audacity to be them all. Storyteller, teacher, and advocate for queer and women* rights. Shams turns identity crises into punchlines and trauma into tight fives.
Chiqui Love — from the Venezuelan plains to the world — is a seasoned figure of cabaret, bringing to life stories that transport audiences to the vibrant, unseen corners of the night — revealing with warmth, wit, and a touch of mischief the human side of the secret world of night workers and the realities behind the taboo. Firm believer on workers’ rights and specially the decriminalization of sex work.
Kakao Katzê is a DJ, community organizer, curator and host from Berlin. She’s been djing for more than 15 years and always wanted to see more women* of Colour behind the decks. She is also the founder and organizer of the all-Asian event series “VOICEMAIL” and the “Queer Asian Calendar”. instagram.com/voicemailberlin/instagram.com/queer.asian.calendar/
Liliana Velåsquez aka LaDios aka our Headliner — Your Dominanny, Stand-Up Sadist, and Professional Switch Witch — fuses comedy, kink, and consciousness to deliver divine chaos with purpose. With 21 years face-out as a Dominatrix, she transforms taboo into truth and shame into laughter. A producer of iconic shows including Pussy Power Protest, Time To Shine, and Shameless Reclamation, LaDios uses stage and satire to celebrate liberation and amplify marginalized voices. Through her art and advocacy, she champions bodily autonomy, consent, and freedom of choice—because her rebellion is ritual, and her aftercare is rooted in ancestry.
