Culturally Inappropriate: English Standup Comedy in Basel

🎭 Wild and unapologetically hilarious standup comedy show by rising comedian Dima Watermelon. Living in 3 different countries and visiting 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.

😂 Expect witty jokes and ridiculous life stories about politics, Berlin techno clubs, Germans, emigration, online dating, nuclear war, interracial relationships, shark attacks, and other significant subjects. No topic is off-limits or too soon.

Dima is a professional funny person from the outskirts of Chornobyl, Ukraine. His unique comedic style is a mix of absurdity, social commentary and some allegedly inappropriate jokes. Self-proclaimed inventor of mumble comedy. And yes, Watermelon is indeed his real surname, simply translated into English.

Being naturally funny, Dima, only started doing standup after he moved to Berlin in 2015 to make sure not to lose his sense of humor while integrating into German society. Since then, Dima has performed in more than thirteen countries, including renowned locations such as the Gotham Comedy Club in New York, the Comedy Store London, and famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
