In this episode we are joined by the talented Tina Marie Serra, Salim Fadhley, Zhenya Armazov and Johanna Gustin, at Podfest Berlin with a live studio audience!
The nightmare story of someone's morning routine, the phanton rain from trees in Berlin and the time Zhenya swindled a child for a game of Jenga are turned into hilarious improv skits with the sisters Hildie and Hilda, two sneaky sorceresses, a new improv podcast called What The Aphid and the turbulant tale of a family and their prized collection of boardgames.

This episode brings a fun but not unfamiliar change of pace: two-prov! This time we’re joined by Kevin Napier and Andrew Blumhagen of Bloodthirsty for a slow burn that gets weirder and weirder the longer you listen.
Stories of smart appliances locking people in, abandoned e-scooters and Christmas Market bouncers inspire a newsworthy but unmemorable robbery, an emotional rollercoaster in a cellphone store and a festive season thug who’s been getting the wrong end of the stick this whole time.

Stories of camping gone wrong, horrendous choice of advertising space, and viral videos of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz get turned into some of our favourite improv skits with little ticks and their “Blood Mothers”, political activists turned entertainers and employees who should seriously read the fineprint on their contracts.

*Not Safe For Over Thirties* This episode contains content that will make you feel old, but don’t worry, everyone behind the mic is with you.
Matilde Kaizer, Trevor Silverstein and Lauren Sedger from the Comedy Cafe Berlin house teams join us for another raucous episode of What’s the Mate?. Julia shares news from the Langenscheidt Publishing House and what the public have determined is the 2022 German Youth Word of the Year, a real-life story about what happens at her adult sleepovers, and Matilde walks us through the experience of trying to adopt a cat in Germany.
These stories inspire scenes of hip grannies trying to connect with their grandchildren, a touring band called The Tucks and their absurd connection to burritos, and an adoption interrogation turned pet sacrifice - enjoy!

This episode of What’s The Mate brings together three familiar favourites; Angie Cornwell, Jenna Stone and Blake Farha of Kaleidoscope, this time under the umbrella of Macaroni Raincoat Shoe. Their choice, not ours.
Stories of Yassification, pet dryers, 3D printed steaks and an unlawful house party get turned into the wackiest improv skits with bizarre magicians, a family who takes rules into their own hands and Duckie the overworked Dog.

In this bananas episode of What’s The Mate, we bring you wonderful tales from our very own Berlin, and improvisers Kevin Napier, Tina Joaquim and Blake Farha spin hilarious sketches throughout. This episode has everything: horse wars, uranium-laced fireman suits from Chernobyl, and an uppity hospital patient named Oscar.
This week’s stories include Julia’s experience with the cute vintage hat that tried to kill her, the 23,000 (!!) charming gas lamps still burning in Berlin, and how Tina’s cat’s reputation at the vet precedes her…and that’s not always a good thing.

This episode comes to you from the Lakeside Film Festival where we were joined by Fünfdollar - featuring Caroline Clifford, Amanda King, Richard Killiam and Kieran Humphries - as well as a live audience!
We hear all about the Berlin Police and their latest investment for patrolling the Spree, Julia's nightmare dog-sitting experience, Caroline's 70 000 euro transfer faux pas, and Richard's unexplained willingness to let anyone put anything into his mouth. As you can imagine, the improv that follows goes some gloriously strange places, so buckle up!

In this bonus episode we are joined, virtually and from across the globe, by GRILL TALK. Matilde Keizer dialed in from Berlin, Nacho Sanguinetti from Uruguay and Trevor Silverstein from California to bring you some of the funniest improv comedy!
Together they explore bizarre stories that have come out of life during corona, where the drama of a machete-wielding man inspires “smart-social police officers” who use TikTok to fight crime.

It's our season finale, and we honestly couldn't think of a better way to end an incredible year!

We start with the story of meeting Pablo Francisco, which inspires a restaurant where anyone could be a celebrity, we hear the tale of a terrible Berlin club, the reason for Julia's "sexy voice" and the worst Coat Check of all time, and we end things with Julieta's experience with a German police officer, his vest and a cellphone number... it gets wild!
