Märt Avandi stand-up “45”

A 45-year-old man, a parent, an ex-spouse, an addict, a member of the Estonian Defence League, a fool with money, a technology novice… When Märt created his first stand-up show, “40”, at the age of 40 and successfully toured Estonia (and briefly abroad) with its honest and personal material, he thought he might try again at 50. But here we are: Märt Avandi’s stand-up “45” is a reality. It is actually surprising how much can happen in five years. Even if you consider yourself experienced, having seen it all, and would also like to think of yourself as a sensible person. One might have assumed that everything inside and around you would become increasingly calmer. It does not. Fortunately, the desire to look at your life with humor has not disappeared. Nor has the desire to analyze your vices, worries, and mistakes with complete honesty. Because if there is anything worth laughing about, it is yourself. On stage: Märt Avandi. Text: Märt Avandi, Paul Piik. Märt’s new stand-up show “45” premieres at Fotografiska on October 15 and aims to reach all the larger cities and county centers before its protagonist turns 46.
