SchröderReisen ComedyBus

Stand-up Comedy on Four Wheels

The SchröderReisen ComedyBus turns the classic city tour on its head: Instead of a factual tour guide, a stage character takes over the microphone, and the coach becomes a rolling cabaret stage for around two hours. The most famous host is Edith Schröder, the Neukölln art figure played by Ades Zabel, who gave the tour its name. In addition, the comedy character Jutta Hartmann and the entertainer Cloozy guide through the city, each with their own route and theme. With Jutta Hartmann, the focus even changes quarterly, so repeat visitors rarely experience the same program twice. The directors are the performers Lutz Petrick and Moritz Piefke, who have been developing the format for years. The tour is conducted in an air-conditioned Mercedes coach with space for 60 guests. The start and end point is Nollendorfplatz U-Bahn station in Schöneberg, where the group gathers in front of the Berliner Sparkasse’s private customer center at the corner of Kleiststraße and Motzstraße. Those who board do not get an audio guide via headphones, but rather a person who stands at the front, improvises, and addresses the audience directly.

Berlin Beyond the Postcard Motifs

The routes deliberately lead not just past the Victory Column and the Reichstag, but especially into neighborhoods (Kieze) that do not appear on any standard tour: Neukölln, Moabit, Wedding, and Prenzlauer Berg. What is told there is a mix of local history, milieu study, and punchline – the city tour works here through humor and not through dates. The ticket costs 33 Euros per person, including the pre-sale fee; there is no age-based pricing or discount. Those who wish to join should be at the meeting point fifteen minutes before departure, as the bus does not wait. Due to the coarse language, the program is aimed at an adult audience: young people aged 16 and over may only ride accompanied by an adult supervisor and with written consent. For company parties, incentives, and private groups, the ComedyBus can also be booked exclusively, including moderated transfers between two event locations. Tickets are available exclusively in advance; spontaneous boarding at the bus door is not planned.
