Conan O’Brien gets turned down at Berghain on his Berlin trip

Conan O’Brien’s visit to Berghain at the end of summer drew a number of severe critics, including The Black Madonna who wrote in a subsequently deleted Instagram post: “I'm not humorless about any subject. But turning a space like this into a comedy spectacle for a largely straight American audience with no context other than the club being private and gay is a problem".

The US comedian was filming a segment for his late night show in which he takes tips from passers by and attempts to get into the club, but is stopped before he can even reach Sven’s hallowed door by a group of men who threaten to call the police if he doesn’t leave.
