Gareth Berliner
Comedian, actor and writer Gareth Berliner has firmly established himself as an accomplished comic performer. Irresistibly amiable, Gareth’s act touches on his odd life and perspective. Berliner almost died long before ever becoming a stand-up and this affords him the ability to tell some intricately woven anecdotes and sharply crafted gags with an edge.
He started stand up in 2005 and worked my way up to being a full time professional comedian over the course of the next 3 years.
In 2005 he took a show, Gutless, to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. The show was very well received and 6 months later it made its debut at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival receiving great reviews from The Metro (4 stars) and other newspapers.
“He’s cheaper than Prozac and by the end of the show you feel you’ve made a friend.” The Age Melbourne
“Berliner is a natural storyteller with more soul than a hundred other comedians.” Metro
“Gutless takes it’s audience from sympathy to tears and then onto loud laughter , hilarious show.” The Telegraph
Since then he’s performed solo shows and stand-up at major clubs and festivals across the UK, Europe and Internationally from Birmingham to Brussels to Bondi Beach!
He’s performed at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adalaide Fringe Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival Whitstable Comedy Festival, JW3 Jewish Comedy Festival, Whitby Goth Festival, Shamballa Festival, End of the Road Festival, 2000 Trees Festival, Endorse It In Dorset Festival, Cornbury Music Festival, Limmud Festival, The Big Chill Festival, Leicester Comedy Festival, Northampton Comedy Festival, Coventry Comedy Festival, Wolverhampton Comedy Festival.
