I tova shte mine - Stand Up Comedy Special
This Too Shall Pass - Stand Up Comedy SpecialAfter a completely sold-out premiere, the show „This Too Shall Pass“ returns on April 2 at Artvent Theater.Three women. Three points of view. No pretense that we have the answers. Self-irony, a few truths, and plenty of reasons to laugh at the things that usually send us into a panic.Krasimira will discuss the things that will never pass in Bulgaria - the queues at KAT, hanging around at the ID card counter. She'll also daydream about the same thing that wiped out the dinosaurs 68 million years ago taking us too.Olya Malinova will talk about what it's like to be a "failed mother," why it's okay to love money, and who her favorite National Awakener from the Liberation is.Elisaveta Belobradova will talk about open communication, personal boundaries, and the madness we all have. Some - in larger doses than others.We look forward to seeing you on April 2 at Artvent Theater.
Three voices. One microphone at a time. And a heap of hard truths turned into punchlines. This new special gathers three of Bulgaria’s most recognizable comedic storytellers on one stage, each with a sharply different angle on modern life. The result isn’t a “how to” manual; it’s a freewheeling, grown‑up conversation where jokes hit first and reflections arrive a second later.
Fans will recognize the trio from the live format “3 Women on the Microphone,” where they’ve built a loyal following by stress‑testing taboos and everyday habits in front of real crowds. Here they go further with completely fresh material: candid riffs on family expectations, self-sabotage, money talk, power games at home and at work, and that curious Bulgarian talent for navigating rules we didn’t write but must somehow survive. The rhythms are different for each performer—one dry and surgical, another exuberant and confessional, the third calmly incendiary—so the show keeps pivoting just when you think you know where it’s headed.
What to expect in the room? A club-style atmosphere, quick transitions, and the kind of unfiltered honesty that makes strangers laugh together. The three sets are interlaced with spontaneous asides and callbacks, so stories begun early in the night pay off later in unexpected ways. It’s deliberately personal—no “universal truths,” only lived experience polished into comedy beats that feel local, specific and very now.
If you follow Bulgarian stand‑up, you know these performers have been a driving force in opening stages to women’s perspectives without softening the edges. That lineage matters here: the writing leans on observation rather than shock, the timing is tight, and the group chemistry is the engine that keeps the pace high. Come ready for frank language and for subjects people usually whisper about. Laughter first, but also a nudge to look at the everyday with less dread and a bit more mischief.
