Many Berliners hardly ever venture out of their neighborhood. Their thing is the quirky, colorful life just around the corner. The true neighborhood insider may dutifully stand in line at the bakery, but has absolutely no qualms about socializing at the garden café or while shopping—especially since their dialect usually creates the closest possible connection while maintaining maximum distance. Try to top that!

During this evening of music and cabaret, it will become crystal clear whether you want to stay in your familiar neighborhood or would rather escape to the surrounding countryside of the Mark. And visitors on a discovery tour will also learn a lot that isn’t in any travel guide.

“There are few artists who can embody a true Berlin original so convincingly,” writes the Tagesspiegel about “Chanson-Nette” Jeannette Urzendowsky. She is accompanied and supported by Tal Balshai. Tal has lived in Berlin for a good 30 years—so it goes without saying that he, too, has a rich reservoir of neighborhood experience.

Who’s actually a Berliner? “Anyone who can put up with us for at least five years is a Berliner,” says Chanson-Nette. And for those who don’t understand her Berlin slang, she’s happy to try explaining it in Standard German! See you later!
