"Quatsch" is the delicious German word for nonsense, and there's plenty of it in the shows held at the comedy club in the basement of the Friedrichstadtpalast theatre. Set up by stand-up comedian Thomas Hermann in 1992, most shows are in German with new shows and artists every week, but look out for special international guests and the English-language "Strictly Stand Up" nights, held every 2-3 months. Drinks and snacks like nachos and hot dogs are available.
