0 Ambition – A Jew Running the Numbers

Epic Comedy BerlinProfessional company

60 minutesThe Parlour
A notebook. A list of numbers. A room making choices together. You decide the direction: tested material, new ideas, or going darker. Ori Halevy turns it into a live set on the spot. It’s quick, smart and unpredictable, with moments that could land perfectly or go completely off the rails, just enough to keep everyone leaning forward. Following sold-out runs in the past two years, his work has earned strong praise, including The Scotsman review calling him 'like no other comic I’ve seen… and despite myself, I want to see more.'

About Epic Comedy Berlin

0 Ambition – A Jew Running the Numbers is an interactive stand-up comedy show by Ori Halevy, presented by Epic Comedy Berlin. Armed with a notebook and a list of numbers, Halevy invites the room to decide what direction the set takes — tested material, new ideas, or going darker. The result is a live set created on the spot: quick, smart, and unpredictable. Moments may land perfectly or go completely off the rails. Runs 60 minutes at The Parlour. Suitable for 14+.

Why see this show?

A comedy show where the audience genuinely steers the night — not improv theatre, but live stand-up built in the room from a notebook of numbers. Unpredictable in the best way, with a sharp comic at the centre who embraces going off the rails.
