Your 20s are glorious; your 30s are a joy. Your 40s suck, because 40 is when you finally realize all the things youve f*cked up so far. Nir Gottleid shares his feelings about turning 40 " and talks about the fun sides of depression, anxiety, cats, hate crimes, dating as a single old man, and the bitterness, rage, and acceptance that can only come with a life exhaustively lived. An hour of suicide jokes, fun for the whole family. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll want to die.Nir is an Israeli Berlin-based comic who has performed around the world. He's produced and performed countless shows, including The Berlin Offensive, Schindler's Fist, and his first solo The Revenge of the Jewdi; Nir is widely considered one of the darkest comics in the European continental scene and is melding of dark humour, self-deprecation, and obscene dad jokes will leave him in stitches, because you are very likely to stab him after his set.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
