David Deery had a difficult upbringing. His mom was cheap. She wouldn’t take him to Niketown. Instead she would take him to a place that might just as well be called Shittown. In Shittown they didn’t have Air-Jordans. They didn’t even have Ponys. Maybe some Phonys, but that was about it. Hey, hold on. That sounds like the upbringing of a lot of people I know. It even kind of sounds like my own. Hell, it sounds exactly like my own. But I turned out okay… I guess.

So what exactly was it that turned David Deery into that stage-wrecking, heckler-bashing, German-abusing maniac that has been devastating stages all over Berlin for a whole year now? What was it that turned regular David Deery into Motherfucking David Deery? Was it his serious Club Mate* addiction? Was it his split personality that makes him turn into Wolfgang Hosenhaben – the part man, part mountain goat, part goggle-wearing alpine slide maniac – or Hank Hankerman and Dick Bibbles – co-workers at the DDC, the best fucking TV station in the world – at any given time of the day? Was it the K-hole?  

No people, it was none of the above. David Deery has simply come to accept his true calling. He has come to terms with who he really is. David Deery is…THE NERDMASTER! In your face, all you bullies from high school. Who’s laughing now, now that nerd-style has become completely fashionable? Who has kept it real over all these years? David Deery, that’s who. Not you though, with your fake glasses and your wannabe Phonys. That’s why David Deery is kicking some huge ass with his comedy show all over Berlin while you’re stuck in some boring office job in Hoboken or selling used cars in Harrisburg at best. He who nerds first, nerds best!

Deery really proved to the crowd at this anniversary show at the Cabuwazi Circus that he is truly worthy of his title. He showed all his comedic skills, played clips about how to become a DJ without even the most basic musical skills, how to enter and leave Nerdia, how and why German toilets differ so much from American ones that it just drives the expats insane and why Berlin musician Peter Fox will soon be having serious troubles with PETA. He also handed out free Club Mate-flavored ice cream, little nerd and hipster dictionaries, and even virtually entered the circus tent on a donkey’s back. Now that’s what we call “großes Kino!”

So whenever you’re in town try and see Motherfucking David Deery live on stage or at least harass him at his regular spot, the Ping Pong Bar.

If you don’t get around to that, then check out his show “Boner” and some more of his material on YouTube. Enjoy!

*Club Mate is a caffeinated Mate-extract ice tea that has become a Berlin favorite over the last couple of years. It can also be consumed as Sekt-Mate (Club Mate with cheap champagne) or Turbo-Mate (Club Mate with vodka).
