WHAT IS TIME TO SHINE?

Time to Shine is a live comedy and storytelling show, formed in Berlin in 2023. Made by and for people in kink, queer, SW and fetish communities, it explores one theme per show through stand-up, confessions, and personal performance.

“Simultaneously tender and hard-hitting... Hilarious and insightful... I highly recommend it.

The capital’s kink scene can be awfully serious... Enter Time to Shine, the comedy show where storytelling meets seduction.”
— The Berliner

Hosts: L’aDios & Terry Saunders

Time to Shine is created and hosted by Terry Saunders and L’aDios, award-winning comedians bringing over 20 years of stand-up experience from London and New York to the stage.
