THE bEAR presents:
UNTOLD STORIES – Season 11 Kickoff Show
Friday, September 19, 2025
Danziger Str. 50, Berlin | Show #98

We're back—and we’re starting our 11th season with the stories that haven’t been told… yet.

Join us for a night of true, personal stories told live, as 8 brave souls take the stage to share something they’ve never shared before—at THE bEAR or anywhere. Their names will be drawn at random from our legendary top hat. The only requirement? The story must be untold.

These 5-minute stories bEAR witness to the awkward, the inspiring, the heartbreaking, the hilarious, and everything in between—the kind of stories that remind us we’re not alone.

At the end of the evening, the audience votes for their Favorite Story, and the winner receives an invite to The Eve of the Champs, our annual storytellers' showcase in June 2026.

Want to tell a story?
Come early to put your name in the hat—or email us in advance if you want feedback before you hit the stage:
📩 hello@THEbEAR-storytelling.de

Because if you’ve got a story, we’ve got a stage.
And there's no better time to tell it than now.
