Stand-up — sharp, personal, and honest — about figuring yourself out when nothing around you feels stable either. **(please click on the link to book seats meetup registerations dont count)** For the past few years, Ayush has been joking about ADHD, mental health, cultural confusion, and the strange logic of trying to build a stable life with an unstable brain. In Built Wrong, Shipped Abroad, he brings those threads together into his first full English solo hour. This show dives into diagnosis, therapy, navigating the German system, dating in Berlin, career misfits, and trying to stay functional while Europe itself seems to move from one crisis to another. If you enjoy comedy that goes beyond surface punchlines and isn’t afraid of uncomfortable truths, this one’s for you. About the Comic Ayush Kulshrestha has been performing stand-up since 2019 and runs Berlin’s ADHD-themed comedy night. After performing in Hindi and English across different cities, Built Wrong, Shipped Abroad marks his first full-length English solo in Berlin.
