★★★★★Bollywood and Birmingham to Berlin and Brexit?★★★★★

“Growing up – I was too brown for the white kids and the wrong kind of brown for the brown kids.
That’s when I first questioned my identity.”

Come and join international stand-up comedian Dharmander Singh as he goes on a journey to discover his identity, roots and nationality through funny stories and observations about being named after a Bollywood legend, living in 80’s Birmingham and the challenges of being a sun-kissed Brummie in Berlin.

He successfully ran the Birmingham comedy club “Custard Balti”. In 2008, Dharmander did an early “Brexit” and moved to Germany. Based in Berlin, he has been entertaining crowds as compere and solo artist from Amman to Zurich for over 15 years. He supported Ardal O’Hanlon, Judah Friedlander as well as Steve-O and performed with Jeff Ross.

It travels in regular intervals through European countries such as Austria, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Estonia and Italy. Dharmander’s comedy and storytelling also made its journey to the Arabian Peninsula like Jordan, Oman and The United Arab Emirates.

His style of comedy has been described as light-hearted, captivating, warm, entertaining and energetic with smatterings of social and political commentary.
He has appeared on BBC radio on several occasions and featured in the Scottish BAFTA winning film “Crying with Laughter”.
Dharmander is also the regular compere and co-promoter of the popular club “Cosmic Comedy Berlin” which produces sell-out shows.
