DK Travel : Berlin

Berlin is Germany’s liveliest city and one of the most fascinating capitals in the world. You’ll find no other place where art and culture, museums and theatres, entertainment and nightlife are more diverse and exciting than on the banks of the Spree River. Once reunited, Berlin quickly developed into a cosmopolitan city, and today there is an air of energy and vibrancy about it.

Bar jeder Vernunft

This venue, whose name means “devoid of all reason”, is Berlin’s most popular comedy theatre. The cabaret offers a humorous and, at times, romantic programme of songs and chansons , reviews, cabaret, slapstick and comedy, all based in an amazing mirror tent dating from the 1920s. Many stars of the international and German cabaret scene can be seen regularly among the performers here: for example Tim Fischer, Georgette Dee, the Pfister Sisters and Gayle Tufts, as well as older stars such as Otto Sander or Brigitte Mira.
