Over the course of six nights, Mila Panić performs 45 minutes of stand-up comedy, each night joined by a local Berlin-based comedian doing a shorter set. With her texts, she dives into topics like war, empathy, and victimization—told through personal stories of growing up in Bosnia, and moving to Germany. Panić has built a reputation for hard-hitting humour with an ironic twist, captivating audiences with her sharp wit and fearless commentary. Her comedy is clever, provocative, and challenges thinking in the most hilarious ways.
