COME OR DIE
A stand-up comedy double bill on politics and sex
A mash-up of two very different takes on politics and sex comes to The Beast! The double bill features New Zealand/Australian comedian, Anna Beros, with her 4th solo, THE DEVIL IN MISS BEROS followed by Berlin comedian, EXPERT BY IDENTITY, with their 3rd dark stand-up show, PREGNANCY KINK - Of Death, Dick & Disease! This comedy double bill will not only joke on the entanglement of sex and politics but reshape the way you view the past and present, while catapulting you laughing into a future that is yet to exist! Are you ready to COME OR DIE?
THE DEVIL IN MISS BEROS - Anna Beros (NZ/AU)
Part homage to the raunchiest, sexiest, most feminist vintage porn movie of all time and how it shaped Miss Beros' sexual journey, part personal-political satire on absorbed toxic masculinity, fetish and Christian sacrilege. A lighthouse of the English-speaking comedy scene in Berlin, she will take you from her past to the future while making her biggest sexual fantasies come to life. What could be more political than a woman coming under the influence of self-taught freedom?
THE DEVIL IN MISS BEROS premiered at The Comedy Clubhouse Barcelona in May 2026, Volksbühne Grüner Salon Berlin in June 2026 and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2026.

PREGNANCY KINK - Of Death, Dick & Disease - EXPERT BY IDENTITY (Berlin)
This show highlights the next chapter in the comedian’s life: While the world falls from one armed conflict to the next, straight people still procreate?! For the queer non-binary performer this begs questions like, are bombs falling the perfect soundscape for sex dates? Can STIs be used for self-defense? What will happen to daddies if the patriarchy finally falls? Find shelter to witness the non-binary performers take on queer family, sitcoms, and war: How can we still laugh in times of Death, Dick & Disease?
PREGNANCY KINK premiered at Volksbühne Grüner Salon Berlin in June 2026, was performed at Gewerbehalle Luzern and won Best Solo-Performance at the Stockholm Fringe Festival 2026.
