Is there life after death? Are we alone in the universe? Where do half a pair of socks go? This evening, we finally get some disturbing answers to the big questions of existence. Comedian Zoltán Kőhalmi, who has already successfully tackled his everyday problems and childhood traumas, now entertains the audience with his real doubts and anxieties. Can a comedian joke about death when he is still alive? Can the audience laugh at him when he is dead? The Benefits of Pessimism is a funny show by a sad clown, where even those who think there's nothing to laugh about can laugh. The show is enjoyable for the optimistic audience, and even for the die-hard optimist, but don't count on it.
Gyuri Orosz and Kristóf Németh's joint stand-up comedy show is a special spot on the Hungarian comedy scene. The show also reveals theatrical behind-the-scenes secrets, which the Bad Guys perform with a mind-blowing density of jokes and a lot of improvisation. Of course, Gyuri Orosz trolls every story by Kristóf Németh, but we've come to expect that from him. We can promise you one thing, belly laughs are guaranteed...
What is the point of trolling? Can sport be replaced by humour? Was there life before mobile? Would women be better men or would men be better women? What good is a flag when the wind is not blowing? These questions are not answered in Hadházi's new solo show, but at least it's something to laugh about. We'll take László.
The Karinthy-ringed comedian takes a look at "Hungarian public life bleeding from a thousand wounds" in his talky programme Böllérballett. It will be a continuation of his highly successful production The Meaning of Life and Gardening Tips, which has been seen hundreds of times by audiences across the country.
In the one-hour show, Bödőcs not only looks for answers to the meaning of life and gives gardening tips, but also doesn't leave the more important questions unanswered. It's a great show not only for hobby gardeners, but also for fans of hilarious humour and quality stand-up.
Miklós Fenyő's evergreen lines could be the beginning of the Karinthy-ringed rock'n'roll humorist László Hadházi's solo evening. Everything is given: enthusiastic audience, light and sound equipment, stage, kitchen and beer masterpieces, guitar, guest speakers. "I've picked up some local stories. Stories that are truly Hungarian, in the best and funniest sense of the word. There are many things in our mentality that a foreigner doesn't understand even if he has lived here for years. It's natural for us, but we end up laughing at it ourselves. That's what the title refers to: 'Méd in Hungeráj', says Laci, who is always in his element. He introduces the stage, talks about the family, takes me on trips abroad, inland, to Debrecen, even behind the soundproofed door of the oral surgery, sings with Bruti and Tibor Aradi, while all the stories are Hungarian. Very Hungarian.
In his solo evening, Péter Aranyosi talks about craftsmen in a broader sense: doctors, sniffers, cooks and us, who sometimes enjoy and sometimes suffer the stumbles of craftsmen and ourselves in the workplaces of our lives.
Evolution is a unique attempt: the country's first themed stand-up evening summarises billions of years of life on Earth in an hour and a half, and answers long-unanswered questions that are not true but funny - so get adventurous! Find out how the serpent on the bicycle burned Adam and Eve at the Fall! Get on Noah's ark - as opposed to, say, the dinosaurs - or if you believe Darwin, learn about the party habits of cavemen, understand what a mosquito buzzes about and bet on pandas against polar bears. Just think: homo sapiens has been waiting for an evening like this for 500,000 years!
If there are still some blank spots in Zoltán Kőhalmi's life, or if you think you know everything, or if you have simply longed to see a formative performance of him, here it is! This is an evening to get to know the well-known comedian as intimately as you get to know a big-name tabloid actor. Through compromising footage and hidden memories, Zoltán himself gives a guided tour of the museum of his life. It's safe to say that the show is unique of its kind, as nothing like it has ever been done before. This revealing self-confession offers an all-round artistic experience, making a visit to any other cultural event superfluous. This ambitious performance will include action, excitement, animal trapping (not sure), life advice and everything you need to know about 8 Bocskai Street. Laughter and revealing information for the whole family!
One man stands up in front of many people and speaks his joys and sorrows. What is this if not therapy? Yes. It is. András Péter Kovács breaks down inhibitions, sheds tears, brings relief and liberation. He does all this under the spell of family experiences and problems. The stakes are not small. One man's life through one man's life. From birth to the final goodbye. The oft-heard phrases we hate as children, use as parents, criticise as grandparents. "As long as you eat my bread...", "But at my age...", "I don't want to interfere, but...", "That won't get you anywhere with me...". Human games in the family as a child and as an adult, as seen through the eyes of a comedian who is a child, husband, father and relative. Pereputty, or emotional rollercoaster in the family circle.
László Hadházi's solo evening with topical, colourful tabloid images from everyday life in our country, from amusement parks to radio broadcasting and healthcare. The Karinthy-ringed comedian's January 2014 show, Méd in Hungeráj, is an exciting sequel. Hosted by István Bellus. "Hairy, smiley rock 'n roller" (Bristol Népe) "I thought he was fatter." (Marie Claire) "The pork killing stuff almost made me piss my pants." (Washington Post) "I'm sick of this quote-unquote joke." Nóra Oravecz Bottomless promises and blatant lies about the show. Mirtil the kitten and the Pig Killing combined with the Totya and the light bulb story. Story with a guarantee! A constant flow of humour towards the diaphragm muscles, even from multiple sides. With humour and page guarantee!
Balázs Hajdú's solo evening gives us a peek into the life of the youngest member of the Svetes humor mafia, which is made really exciting and personal by his childhood photos, his diary written as a teenager, and photoshop pictures he took himself. In addition to all this, his performance includes a love test, stand-up comedy and other improvisations. All you have to do is buy your tickets quickly and then get a good night's sleep, because everyone needs a rested brain to receive the right quality of reception. By his own admission, his first solo night was so self-contained that he was alone in the room, but it was so well done that word quickly got out about his excellent atmosphere. After the huge successes of Harry Potter and Twilight, here's I'll say it slowly.
Humour is a human privilege. There are examples of fun, games and amusement in the animal kingdom, but the generation of deliberately funny things is a peculiarity of homo sapiens. A giraffe doesn't bother to trick a lion or make his mates laugh, but even a meerkat can't laugh at his neighbour falling down. We can. Humour is a gift to humans, it amuses us and often releases tension. Its source is mostly our own stupidity and weakness, whether we look at the individual or at humanity.
