Nir Gottleid

Comedy

Nir Gottleid is an Israeli comic who has performed in the throughout Europe, the US, and Israel. He has come to Germany to, as he says, "make Germans feel uncomfortable as a form of reparations"; he would prefer to date Germans to achieve his goal, but sadly German women have intelligence, common sense, and eyes — so he does comedy instead. His combination of dark humor, self-deprecation, and obscene "dad jokes" will leave him in stitches, because you are very likely to stab him after his set. Nir has been featured in the British and German press, and performed to critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Brighton Fringe Festival and Israel Germany Festival. Nir has been touring Europe, and has produced multiple successful shows such as "The Berlin Offensive", "Schindler's Fist", and more. Currently he is the producer and MC of "Dark Mode" (https://dark-mo.de) – Europe's prime time dark comedy destination. He is widely regarded as the darkest comedian in the English comedy scene in Germany and more than meets that expectation by awkwardly talking to audiences about things he most definitely shouldn't be talking about. His first solo show, "The Revenge of the Jew-Di" is a 60 to 90 minute exploration of holocaust puns, the life of an Israeli expat in Germany, dating in modern day Berlin, and more. It has been performed to moderate acclaim across Europe, including Germany, Poland, and more. His second solo show, "Middle Rage", is a show about depression, anxiety, dating, and the anger and exhaustion that come with middle age. It has debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (2002), and then went on to the Brighton Fringe Festival where it received favorable reviews. It is currently touring Europe. Nir is currently working on his third solo show, "The Nir Death Experience", a show about death, love, and everything in between.
