What is THE bEAR?
True Stories. Real People. Told Live.
A space where you can:
🔸 SHARE
Your true, personal story — live and without notes — on stage.
🔸 LISTEN
To engaging, honest stories that entertain, move, and connect.
🔸 LEARN
How to become a more powerful storyteller and confident speaker.
Since 2015, THE bEAR has been Berlin’s home for real stories told from the heart — now coming to Hamburg this fall.
No scripts. No props. Just you, the mic, and a room ready to listen.
We finished our 10th Season of true stories, told live with over 250 guests, 10 stories from your Favorite storytellers in the historic Theater im Delphi.
