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.

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.

Very Hungarian.
