On the occasion of the 20th birthday of the Dumaszínház, the cream of Hungarian stand-up comedy came together to celebrate the anniversary with a grand gala. The special performance _ which took place on 25 November in the MVM Dome _ will be broadcast exclusively on VIASAT3 on 1 January, to start the year in a guaranteed good mood. Among others, comedians such as Sándor Badár, László Hadházi, Péter Janklovics, Ádám Kiss, Péter András Kovács, Zoltán Kőhalmi and Eszter Ráskó will provide moments of laughter.

One 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.

Evolution 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!

Another star has signed up to burn on the market-leading commercial channel RTL Klub on the hugely popular Roast show in the US, following the success of Nagy Feró. In the crosshairs again this time will be a cool rocker-rapper: Ganxsta Zolee. The Roast returns to RTL Klub with a brand new programme, and for the first time in a long time, the leading commercial channel will be showing 18 hoops of prime-time content on its market-leading channel.

For minutes, “No!” and “Yes!” have ping-ponged between the three car seats, and I’d long forgotten what sparked the fight, until I called back from the driver’s seat, “At least you’re smart enough to know these arguments are pointless!” A brief silence, then: “…Yes!” As adults, aren’t we just as trapped by scandals and online outrage, clicking into fights over friends’ politics or a driver’s missing turn signal? Whether it’s family squabbles or headline-grabbing protests, the storm may roar, but it changes nothing. Sometimes we need to lift our heads out of the fray and ask: does anyone else really hear the thunder?
