The backbone of my new self is the irresolvable contradiction of the last 33 years, where the more I wanted to achieve something, the less I had a sense of achievement. I was a certified footballer for eight years, then started playing really well after I stopped, I was really getting laid when it was no longer my priority to win a woman, and I was appointed manager of a restaurant in London when I was finally disillusioned with the hospitality industry. My new evening explores this theme and my stories and observations are based on this contrast.

5.9On an ordinary night, in an ordinary part of town, a beautiful young woman walks into a bar. Her name is Jewel, and before long she is chatting to bartender Randy. The pair leave together, but he ends up getting into a tussle with her criminal boyfriend, who she then shoots dead, later persuading Randy to take the rap for her. But this isn't the end of it, as both Randy's cousin Carl and the detective assigned to the murder case also fall for Jewel's charms and find themselves caught up in the ensuing events. It seems that any man who meets Jewel falls instantly in love with her, and she's going to use this fully to her own advantage, leaving a trail of havoc in her wake. It also seems that she is going to get away with it - that is, until Randy decides to hire a hitman...

Showder Klub presents Lorán Barna dropping the belt. Popularly known only as the Dog, the standing star will be performing an all-night show. And although Trabarna specialises in the sound of internal combustion engines, he can also talk... although we can't guarantee that what he has to say will be entirely devoid of the sound of a Zsiguli.
0.0Peti Janklovics comes in, tells stories, stands up. In the 4th minute he mentions, weaving into the story, how much he loved Smooth Criminals by Michael Jackson, whereupon Edu suddenly bursts in, the song plays, bone pro, choreographed dance, music, lights. It's mostly about the pulse, the mood, the moves, but more about having a laugh, then Peti goes out, Edu continues, and the audience already suspects that at any moment Peti or Edu again could burst back on stage, be it Lambada clip analysis, glassing, wardrobe riots, lemon Calippo, gel hair, sunglasses, plaid flanneling tied around the waist (nirvana era), Hally-Gally, bumper cars, bike shorts (women's), glassing underneath Route 67, New Kids And The Block fan club on the cherry tree, denim jacket, three-second phone calls, Hyper-Hyper, or, for example, a feature on professional slowpokes, and a detailed recounting of the first school disco kisses with audience participation, but not like that.
0.0Gyuri 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...
Gyuri Orosz' all-night wanderings through the mazes of health and life. While recounting the series of examinations, surgeries and consultations from the patient's point of view, he himself becomes a bit of a doctor, a healer, as laughter is a proven cure. The show is highly recommended for hypochondriacs!
0.0"This evening I will air out my most treasured possessions, and the ironing will be hammered down along with the laundry. I'm cutting out themes from my life that I've been afraid to talk about frankly at the dinner table, but that the stage can't get away with. The audience gets a glimpse of the joys, the struggles, the blankets that cover the covers of a family starting out in a 9th floor council flat in the city of Leningrad. Come and be part of this entertaining educational therapy!"
Showder Klub presents its all-night standup special series starring Sándor Badár. An improvisational comedian and character actor who, as a member of the comedy mafia in Szentes, is accused of constant joking around in a punchline organisation. His career has always been greatly influenced by his relationship with animals and travel from Bamako to Japan. Nowadays he speaks Badari professionally and does not complain. He resists foreign languages, even though he has already completed an Italian teleshop language school. In view of the international situation, he has not been left untouched by the confinement, like millions of our fellow human beings. But, as a Sentencer, he overcame this extraordinary situation by a clever move from the lowlands. How?
0.0Now we finally have the big idea! "A" Everything works out as I planned, or "B" ...Of course, "B". If I come up with something, it's either fucked up or it turns out to be a load of bollocks. That's me. Paganini of sh@t ideas. The Pope of plans gone up in smoke. It's time to take a look inside myself! Help me out here, let's find out together if I'm stupid or just a poor sparrow. My latest solo show, "Plan Gone Up in Smoke", shows one little man's struggle with the cosmic forces of the universe that suck him in day after day.
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.
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.
7.0Alan Partridge attempts a celebrity travelogue around his beloved Norwich.
7.0Even great love does not necessarily overcome a difference of morals - although the young hero is very much in love, he still rejects the comfortable and easy existence he could lead thanks to the family of his future father-in-law. A tediously moralistic comedy, it picks up with all seriousness the morality of a socialist man who has broken forever with petty bourgeois ideas. It is therefore too contrived, nor does it succeed in elevating the tawdry story in any way. A comedy about life's little and big compromises.
4.7A pair of slackers are forced to put aside their childish ways when a zombie outbreak makes its way to their small town.
6.2When nerdy high schooler Dani finally attracts the interest of her longtime crush, she lands in the cross hairs of his ex, a social media celebrity.

7.2Don Salvatore Anastasia, a priest in a seminary in Tropea, Calabria (Italy), gets a ticket to visit his brother in New York. He has never known him, because the brother emigrated illegally in the U.S.A. years before. Upon his arrival in America, he is greeted with much respect, as well as his brother, also from the Italian-American community of Little Italy. Enthusiastic of that, he decided to stay on as assistant pastor in the church of Saint Lucia and bring it to a new shine. Accompanied in New York, his last name, Anastasia, commands respect and, above all, opens the door hitherto locked: his brother, really, is the infamous mob boss Albert Anastasia.
7.3A very hardworking but also very naive insurance company clerk, Valentin Plavec, becomes the target of endless pranks, jokes and recessions from his colleagues Bejšovec and Voborník. However, their last successful trick somewhat gets out of hand. They add a one to the winning number 8456 and convince Valentin that he has won a million in the lottery. However, since Valentin cannot collect his winnings immediately, he withdraws twenty thousand, which is all the savings he has saved together with his fiancée Helena, and starts shopping for a deposit. However, the truth soon comes out and when his colleagues reveal to him that it was just a joke, they all leave him, only the faithful Helena stays and even helps the unfortunate fiancé cancel all the deposits and agreed deals. When the newspaper reports that there has been a mistake and the winning ticket is number 18456, Valentin decides to take revenge on the two pranksters...
