Berlin's Improv Cult Venue: Home of The Gorillas and a hotspot for spontaneous, international theatrical art.

No curtain, no fixed script, no second chance: improv theatre lives in the moment, and Berlin has plenty of it. At the Ratibortheater in Kreuzberg, entire scenes grow out of a single shout from the audience, while the Buehnenrausch in Pankow turns the crowd into the secret director of the evening. At Theatersport Berlin in the BKA, ensembles compete against each other and let the spectators vote on the winner. If you prefer something cosier, the ufa Fabrik in Mariendorf or the Cosmic Comedy Club in Pankow offer nights where no one knows which way the story will tip. That is exactly the appeal: you see something that exists only this one time. Which stage is most likely to get you up and playing along yourself?

I like to sit in the front row, even though I know the performers could pull me onto the stage at any moment. That tingle is exactly what I look for in improv theatre. My favourite evenings have been at the Ratibortheater and at Theatersport in the BKA, where the audience helps decide the outcome. For this list I gathered the stages where truly nothing is predictable.
