An *electric* atmosphere featuring visiting pros and some of the best comedians in Berlin at the city's longest-running weekly show. There's no such thing as a bad Chuckleheads; it's as consistent as it gets. Come and find out why we have more regulars than any comedy show in Berlin. The right mix of lively yet laid-back energy in an intimate setting, with well-curated line ups. Chuckleheads is primarily for experienced comedians, though depending on the week we might have a spot for a newbie or two. Doors: 8:00 pm Showtime: 8:30 pm RESERVATIONS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! We got limited seating. Book the amount of seats you need with your name and we'll have them ready for you. It is still a free-entry show, though please donate to keep the laughs coming and pay for production costs. Suggested donation is 10-20 euros. If you've been to other shows, you know it's well worth it. Come be part of it! As is tradition in the nine years (!) of the show, free shots are also given at the start of each show. Produced and hosted by Daniel Gutierrez. See you all Thursday!

**Online-Nähabend auf Discord – gemeinsam nähen, austauschen und helfen** Hast du Lust auf einen entspannten Online-Nähabend – ganz ohne Kursdruck? Wir treffen uns auf Discord, um gemeinsam zu nähen, zu plaudern und uns gegenseitig zu helfen. Egal ob Anfängerin, Anfänger oder schon fortgeschritten: Alle sind willkommen. Bring einfach dein aktuelles Projekt mit, stelle Fragen oder teile deine Tipps mit der Runde. **Deinen Arbeitsplatz zeigen – optional** Wenn du möchtest, kannst du deinen Arbeitsplatz live zeigen, zum Beispiel über: * Kamera auf Discord (Webcam oder Handy) * Bildschirmfreigabe für Schnittmuster oder Anleitungen am PC * Handy als Kamera von oben auf deinen Tisch **Ablauf des Abends** Ganz locker und ohne festes Ende: * **20:00 Uhr** – Ankommen und kurzer Technik-Check (Ton, Bild, Bildschirmfreigabe) * Kurze Vorstellungsrunde: Woran arbeitest du gerade? Wo brauchst du vielleicht Hilfe? * Danach freies Nähen, Austausch und Fragen zwischendurch * Offenes Ende – wenn du müde wirst, kannst du einfach gehen **Wichtig** Wir starten pünktlich um **20:00 Uhr**. Wer später dazukommt, ist natürlich trotzdem willkommen. Nach dem Start läuft der Abend aber eher frei, deshalb können wir Spätankommende nicht mehr so gut in einen festen Ablauf einbinden. **Technik-Hinweise** * Wir treffen uns in einem Discord-Sprachkanal, auf Wunsch auch mit Video * Wenn du deinen Arbeitsplatz zeigen möchtest, funktioniert die Kombination aus Handy und Laptop meist am besten * Bitte schalte eines der Mikrofone stumm, damit es kein Echo gibt * Kopfhörer sind empfehlenswert * Bildschirmfreigabe klappt meistens am besten in der Discord-Desktop-App, im Browser kann es Einschränkungen geben. **Zeit** **Donnerstag, 20:00 Uhr** **Discord-Zugang** Den Discord-Link bzw. die Kanalinfos poste ich kurz vor Beginn direkt im Event. Er ist für angemeldete Teilnehmende sichtbar.

### The Body: Power, Shame, and Freedom The body is one of the most personal and universal aspects of human existence. It is how we experience the world, express identity, form relationships, and navigate society. Yet the body is never purely biological. Across history and cultures, bodies have been shaped by social norms, political systems, religious beliefs, economic structures, and ideas about morality, beauty, gender, and control. The human body is deeply connected to power. Societies regulate bodies through laws, institutions, medicine, fashion, labor, media, and cultural expectations. Certain bodies are privileged, protected, and celebrated, while others are marginalized, disciplined, or excluded. Standards surrounding beauty, health, sexuality, gender, and physical ability influence how people are perceived—and how they perceive themselves. At the same time, the body is closely tied to shame. Shame can emerge from social judgment, religious expectations, family dynamics, cultural ideals, or comparison with others. People may experience shame related to appearance, aging, sexuality, vulnerability, illness, disability, race, gender expression, or bodily imperfection. In this sense, shame is not only personal but also social and political, shaped by broader structures of power and belonging. Yet the body is also a site of freedom, resistance, and self-expression. Throughout history, individuals and movements have challenged norms surrounding bodies, identity, sexuality, dress, and physical autonomy. The struggle for bodily freedom includes questions of consent, self-determination, health, gender equality, reproductive rights, disability rights, and freedom from violence and discrimination. In contemporary society, the body is increasingly shaped by technology, digital culture, and consumer capitalism. Social media intensifies visibility, comparison, and self-presentation, while medical and technological developments transform how bodies are modified, monitored, and understood. New possibilities for self-expression coexist with new pressures surrounding perfection, productivity, and control. Looking ahead, emerging technologies—including artificial intelligence, biotechnology, genetic engineering, and virtual reality—may fundamentally reshape how humans experience embodiment, identity, and physical existence. This raises important questions: What does bodily freedom truly mean? How much control should individuals or societies have over bodies? And how can dignity and autonomy be preserved in a world of increasing surveillance, optimization, and technological intervention? This discussion invites a critical exploration of the body as a biological, psychological, social, and political reality—one deeply connected to identity, power, vulnerability, and human freedom. *** 📅 Event Details 🗓️ Date: Saturday, 16 May 2026 ⏰ Time: 14:30 📍 Location: Hardenbergstraße 10, 10623 Berlin 📱 WhatsApp: For prep materials and directions (Group Chat) [Group Chat](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Ba8ZAaH2Yuk6FGmD3LLO7H)

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.
