An origami tradition has by now taken root at **[Das Gift](https://www.instagram.com/dasgiftberlin/)**, a cosy Scottish pub (special info for all post-rock fans: Mogwai was its previous owner! 😱) in central Neukölln. Known for its creative spirit and friendly vibe, it’s the perfect backdrop for an evening full of origami, good company, and pretending we are far more coordinated than we actually are 🍺 What you can expect at all our events: * **Mandatory donation (amount of your choice)** – this supports essential costs like the Meetup subscription and keeps our community thriving 🌱 You can either submit a **physical donation** to the event host in person or make a **digital donation** **[here](https://paypal.me/origamiberlin?locale.x=de_DE&country.x=DE)** (and inform the host afterwards). * In-person folding practice for all levels – beginners and experienced folders are equally welcome. * Origami paper + model instructions will be provided (from the host’s collection, for reference only). Feel free to bring your own favorite sheets or tools! * Photos may be taken for memories & our archive (Meetup, Instagram, Telegram) – let the host know if you prefer not to appear. * **We kindly encourage everyone to order at least one drink/snack to support [Das Gift](https://www.instagram.com/dasgiftberlin/) for hosting us!** They are also kind enough to allow outside food, so feel free to bring something to snack on or share with the group if you wish! ⚠️ **RSVP Policy – Please Read** ⚠️ Our community has grown a lot since its birth in August 2024, which is amazing — but it also means we need to handle RSVPs more carefully: * RSVP opens **7 days before** each event (apart from short-notice events) and closes at **noon on the event day**. * Please cancel your spot or contact the host directly (via Meetup message function or our [Telegram channel](https://t.me/+T4URs80l2ig3NWNi)) by **noon on the event day** if you can't make it last minute. * Members with **2 no-shows** (without notice) will be removed from the group unless a valid reason is provided.

We pick our comics based solely on their ability to take you from the sprawling plains of average humour and usher you through the gates of next-level hilarity. This is a Pay-What-You Want show. This means you reserve a ticket and don't pay anything upfront. You pay what you think the show is worth at the end. We are confident in our ability to deliver a lineup and show that is worth at least 15-20 Euro and we are willing to put our money where our mouth is. Can we make it any fairer than that? Still, if you'd rather pay upfront, we also have the option of purchasing a table seat which offers you somewhere to stack your drinks and is located farther back from the stage. The call has gone out, the comics are gathering. The only question is, are you in the mood for something Epic?! Join us for the best Friday comedy live event in Berlin! Book now! PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to offer refunds within 24 hours of showtime
