Eric on the World

This week comedian Bruno Mazzini is on the show. Bruno is a Peruvian who recently moved to Berlin to pursue a career in standup comedy. We discuss his journey, the comedy scene in Berlin, what inspired him to start performing, and girls in Ohio who are anxious to cheat on their boyfriends.

I talk about needing a comedy hour and bar stories. I can't figure out why but I think the audio is super scratchy on this one.

This week opera singer and burlesque performer Diva D'Luscious joins me as my first in-person guest in nearly 9 months. Diva (aka Sarah) discusses why she moved to Berlin from the United States, how she got her start in opera, and how she eventually started doing burlesque. We then diverge to talk about the state of dating in relation to social media and apps. Finally, Sarah discusses her recent breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, and how that's affected her outlook on performance and life.

That's about it haha. I also have a comedy show this Wednesday in Berlin, check it out. 

This week the hosts of the Americans in Germany Drinking Whiskey podcast return. Geoff and Alex join me to discuss how it feels to live in Berlin now vs. when I left during the lockdown in January, tips for lakes and exploring the greenery of Berlin outside "the Ringbahn," why cycling is the best mode of transportation in Berlin, and so much more.

Be sure to follow me on Instagram for more adventures and comedy dates.

This week my friend and fellow foreigner Maila joins the show. Maila discusses her move from Brazil to Portugal and eventually Berlin, plus we get into an impassioned debate about domestic violence and traditional gender roles in different countries.

Here's a news article in relation to the studies I was referencing.

Through the haze of cigarettes and cocaine, I talk about the continued nuttiness of my adventure in trying to move to and secure myself as a resident of Berlin.

From finding housing to having my wallet stolen to the weird socks Berliners put on their water faucet, it's been quite a week. Enjoy!

It was a harrowing journey of over 6 months, but somehow, I made it back to Berlin. I talk about missing my flight here, being back, and the wildest bartender reaction I've ever seen to someone making sure they were served the right drink.

Despite being fully vaccinated, I contracted Covid in Barcelona. I talk about how it all happened, my symptoms, what I've had to do since, how it's messed up my plans, why Airbnb is the worst ever, and how crazy this variant is.

This week I talk about how my mental health is progressing, how hot Europeans are, Park Güell, Covid in Barcelona, and doing comedy here.
