Prime Time Theater, Comedy theater in Wedding, Berlin.
Prime Time Theater is a modern Volkstheater in Berlin's Wedding district, founded in 2003 by Constanze Behrends and Oliver Tautorat. Its 230-seat auditorium, expanded in 2009 with ERDF and Berlin lottery funding, hosts original plays, mainly the stage sitcom Gutes Wedding, Schlechtes Wedding, in which every actor plays several characters.
Constanze Behrends and Oliver Tautorat founded the theater on 3 December 2003 in the Soldiner Kiez of Gesundbrunnen, with the two as its first actors. It changed venue three times; the current house was fitted out in 2009 with ERDF and Berlin lottery foundation funds. In 2019 a rescue by Wedding-born Tomislav Bucec and the new RAZ Kultur gGmbH averted insolvency, bringing renovation and a larger foyer restaurant. Tautorat has led it alone since 2015.
The theater produces Germany's only stage sitcom that draws from the real life and humor of Berlin's Wedding district. Audiences experience comedy rooted in the neighborhood's everyday situations and how residents navigate their daily surroundings.
The theater seats 230 in its auditorium on Müllerstraße in Wedding, and the venue is wheelchair accessible. Since 2025, performances start at 19:30 instead of the original 20:15, following an audience survey. The building was modernized in 2019, when a larger gastronomy area opened in the foyer.
The stage sitcom Gutes Wedding, Schlechtes Wedding has run since 10 January 2004, with new episodes appearing several times a year; episode 127 was produced as a theatre film for Berlin cinemas during the COVID-19 pandemic and is also available on streaming. In summer 2020 and 2021 open-air performances took place at Strandbad Plötzensee.
