Berliner Kabarett Anstalt, Cabaret theatre in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Germany.
Berliner Kabarett Anstalt is a theatre venue in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg situated on the fifth floor along Mehringdamm, hosting cabaret acts, comedy shows, poetry readings, and musical performances throughout the year. The compact interior brings performers close to audiences, creating an immediate connection during each show.
The theatre was founded in 1988, growing from a collective of performers who had staged political satire across West Germany in the late 1970s and early 1980s. This establishment created a permanent home for a touring performance tradition.
The venue carries forward Berlin's tradition of cabaret as a form of performance where humor and social commentary meet. This kind of entertainment has shaped how audiences here think about theatre and audience participation.
The venue occupies the fifth floor of a building and is best reached on foot, as the lift can feel tight and stairs add to the experience of arriving at the space. Plan to arrive a bit early to secure a comfortable seat and soak in the surroundings before the show begins.
The venue regularly hosts Unerhörte Musik, a series focused entirely on new chamber music that stands out in the German cultural landscape. Additionally, morning children's theatre performances in English attract families from other countries.
