EXPOSED is a three-night exploration of what happens when we strip away the masks we wear and embrace what we keep hidden.

Time to Shine returns in May with our ninth show.

Welcome to Time to Shine, your destination for all things bold and unapologetic. Whether you’re stepping out solo, with a partner, or surrounded by your pleasure posse, this is the space where you’re free to embrace your most authentic self. Dress in the finest latex, the smoothest leather, or anything that sets your spirit alight.

Here, self-expression is honoured, and every story is shared with raw honesty and wit.

Hosted by two award-winning comedians, masters of their craft with over 20 years of experience between the London and NYC stand-up scenes, now calling Berlin home, Time to Shine is a celebration of kink, humor, and community.

Created by and for kinksters, sex workers, and fetishists, this is a heartfelt exploration of a lifestyle often misunderstood. Whether you’re immersed in the scene or simply curious, we welcome you to a judgment-free space where vulnerability, passion, and power take centrestage.

EXPOSED is a three-night exploration of what happens when we strip away the masks we wear and embrace what we keep hidden.

In our world, kink isn’t a punchline—but that doesn’t mean it can’t be funny.
