From Berlin Comedy in English

The Minority Report is a weekly stand-up comedy show about identity, culture, and the expat experience. Are you a minority in Europe? Did something weird, awkward, or low-key offensive happen to you this week? This is the space to vent your feelings about it. Every week, comedians Bryan Lee and Moe Singleton take the stage to unpack life as outsiders, offering their unique commentary on topics like race, masculinity, relationships, and life between cultures. Add weekly special guest comedians and “question time” with the audience, and you’ve got Berlin’s most unhinged comedy experience. 🎟️ Want to warm up before the show? Check out our comedy workshop – a beginner-friendly stand-up class with Bryan and Moe, hosted just before the show.

Session 22: Embodiment - Park edition!

Session 22: Embodiment - Park edition!

Tue, Aug 4, 4:30 PM
From Thought Experiments in Pubs | Berlin
4.7

Hi! Welcome to Thought Experiments in Pubs... well, Park edition! Here you get to have deep conversations with people you've never met. The topic will be "Embodiment". I'll post questions that will guide us through the topic on the day, here as comment on this event. **Location:** [Volkspark Friedrichshain](https://maps.app.goo.gl/jpAu27WJXGgKB5wdA), near Märchenbrunnen **The idea:** A chance to meet and talk at a 'deeper' level, and skip the 'small talk'. **How will it work?** We will have a set of 'Thought Experiments', short, philosophical scenarios and questions, which will be discussed in groups. The conversation will flow freely, there are no strict rules, simply share and discuss your perspectives on the given topic. The thought experiments will be posted here ahead of the event. **Who should come?** Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality... etc. **Do I need to bring anything?** No! Just an open, inquisitive mind. We will do 3 rounds of discussions. After the event, I would love to hear your feedback on the session. The thought experiments we will discuss are around the theme of the day. Prompts will be posted here on the day of the event. **Park edition** Feel free to bring picnic blankets, food and drinks, as you wish! We'll keep a look at the weather, if the forecast turns to rain, we will fall back to Atopia Kaffeehaus as usual. This would be announced on the chat the evening before. See you soon! \- Dirk *Thought Experiments in Pubs Berlin is inspired by [Thought Experiments in Pubs London](https://www.meetup.com/thought-experiments-in-pubs/), which originated in 2023 as a social experiment to get people together to connect at a deeper level. The copy on this page and original idea is derived from [Thought Experiments in Pubs London](https://www.meetup.com/thought-experiments-in-pubs/). For more info and to enquire about setting up your own group and joining the TEiP community, check out the [main TEiP website](https://www.alltogether.one/thoughtexperimentsinpubs) or contact Bonny:* bonnyastor@gmail.com *TEiP was brought to Berlin by Aino. Many thanks! I hope to keep it going just the same.*
