Dima Watermelon with standup concert "Ukrainian Dream" in Berlin 1 February 2025

Wild and unapologetically hilarious standup comedy show by rising Ukrainian comedian Dima Watermelon. This show is about dreams, absurdity of life and quirks of our diverse society.

• “Deadpan Absurdity” — Stewart Lee, The Guardian
• "Immensely likable stage presence and sharp storytelling" — SLEEC Reviews
• "Dima’s comedy is built on taking risks, and when those risks pay off, the results are golden" — SLEEC Reviews
• "Ukrainian Dream is a must-watch for anyone who has ever lived abroad or is curious about the expat experience. Its humor, heart, and authenticity make it stand out in the sea of other comedy shows" — Midlothian View

Expect spicy jokes and ridiculous life stories about the state of the world, Berlin techno clubs, emigration, online dating, interracial relationships, shark attacks, and more significant topics. It’s wild, hilarious, and he doesn’t hold back!

Dima is a Ukrainian stand-up comedian who has been living in Germany for the past 9 years. But don’t worry – he hasn’t been there long enough to lose his sense of humor. His unique comedic style is a mix of absurdity, social commentary, and some allegedly inappropriate jokes. And yes, Watermelon is his real last name, simply translated into English.

Dima has performed in over 30 countries, including renowned locations like Gotham Comedy Club in New York, The Comedy Store in London, and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Having lived in three different countries and visited over forty, Dima is no longer simply Ukrainian, but not quite European either. Stuck in this absurd cultural limbo, he finds laughter is his best coping mechanism.

Last chance to see this show live! 50+ cities, many sold-out shows! Critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! This Show will be professionally recorded
