    Hands up who likes standup comedy? Right, everyone without their hand up can get the fuck out, because there’s nothing better than listening to a funny human’s stories and thoughts and jokes and that. And there are fewer funnier than Josie Long, who’s been smashing it on British telly, the Edinburgh Fringe and countless stages for years now. So if you still have your hands up, put one down and use it scroll down to the bit where we’re giving away two pairs of tickets to Josie’s Berlin show next week. I don’t know what you should do with that other hand – maybe make a fist or a peace sign or something.✌️

    If you don’t know Josie, check out her awesome “Romance and Adventure” show below, or this appearance on one of our favourite podcasts, Scroobius Pip’s Distraction Pieces. You can get full details about the two Berlin shows over on Facebook, buy tickets to Friday’s performance via Live in Berlin, and win tickets for Thursday below. Enjoy!

      Vic & Bob (with Matt Lucas). To this day, I have absolutely no idea why this cracks me up. It makes absolutely no sense at all, but it probably my favourite comedy moment.

    Moving to Berlin with only the essentials (our cats and my shoes!) meant there was unfortunately no room for really useful things like skull candles, antler shot glasses and dead bovine cushions. With plans to move into one of Berlin’s MANY unfurnished apartments next time around, all my twisted interior design fantasies can finally come true! Sadly for James my tastes lean towards the morbid and macabre but what’s new there?

  • Love Loft

    As in, we love our loft. Don’t worry, we don’t call our new apartment the Love Loft, in an MTV Cribs “this is where the magic happens” kind of way. In fact, sharing one room with two cats 24/7 pretty much guarantees that NOTHING happens here. Aaaanyway… here’s where we’re going to be living, for at least the next two and a bit months: a converted printing fabrik in the heart of gritty Kreuzberg 36. It may be deeply impractical – we could do with some walls, more curtains and a bathroom bigger than an upright coffin – but it’s a great “space” in which to work and hang out, hipster-dickhead-style. And we love it.

      Did you find your sublet on Craigslist or something similar? Or was it through a short term rental agency?

      We did the Craigslist route the first time around, with not much luck. We’re looking to come back soon, and hope to sublet for a month until we get our feet on the ground….Any advice would be great :)

        Hi Leigh,

        Yeah we found it through Craigslist. In fact, that’s where we found every sublet we’ve stayed in (I think, three in total) – it seems to be the place most Berliners go to advertise their flats.

        Alternatively, you could try and find a holiday apartment and see if you could get a good rate for staying there a few weeks. Would be more expensive, but you’d avoid the pitfalls of subletting – see https://uberlin.co.uk/the-dummkopfs-guide-to-subletting/

        I’ll let you know if we hear of anything. What areas are you looking in?

      Ha! I’d be more than happy to be a hipster dickhead if I could live somewhere like this!

        es ist alles eine Fassade! (p.s that was from google translate so if I’ve just swore at you or insulted you then that was not my intention!)
