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.

0.0Is 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.
0.0If 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!
8.8The 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.
9.0What 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.
0.0One 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.
9.2In 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.
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.
0.0László 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!
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...
0.0Evolution 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!
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!"
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.
0.0In 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.
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.

7.4This material was developed and prepared over the last year or so, mostly in comedy clubs. This special kind of goes back to when he used to just make noises and be funny for no particular reason. It felt right to him to shoot this special in a club to give it that live immediate intimate feeling. The show is about an hour long. The opening act, who is seen at the beginning (good place for an opening act) is Jay London. One of his favorite club comics going way back to the late 80s when he first started in working in New York.

6.8Jimmy Carr finds humor in the darkest of places in this stand-up special that features his dry, sardonic wit — and some jokes he calls "career enders."
7.4Jimmy Carr delivers more of his cynical take on life's little absurdities in his trademark deadpan style in this live stand-up release. Jimmy unleashes his rapid-fire joke-telling and razor-sharp wit on topics ranging from religion and sex, to bullying and political correctness. Those brave enough to heckle are quickly put in their place by an array of colourful if brutal put-downs.
7.5Gabriel Iglesias is one of the fastest-rising comics today! With his unique brand of humor, lovable stage presence and wide range of voices and impressions, it's no wonder that he already has a huge fan following.

5.9A ratings hit! Amy Schumer debuts her one-hour special in front of a live audience at the Historic Fillmore Theatre in San Francisco. Nothing is off limits as Schumer airs every hilarious, messed up detail of her dating and sex life, from encounters with unexpected body parts to hate-filled personal grooming appointments. In her matter-of-fact raunchy style, at odds with her self-described "Cabbage Patch Kid" appearance, Schumer tells stories of a boyfriend who makes dirty requests over dinner, the way she outsmarts her birth control, and a shocking ending to a seemingly innocent cab ride.
