Märt Avandi stand-up “45”

A 45-year-old man, a parent, an ex-spouse, an addict, a member of the Defence League, a fool with money, technologically inept... 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 that perhaps he would 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 thought that everything inside and around you would gradually become calmer. It does not. Fortunately, the desire to look at your life with humour has not disappeared. Nor has the desire to analyse your vices, worries and mistakes with complete honesty. Because if anything is worth laughing at, it is yourself. On stage: Märt Avandi
