Miklós Fenyő's evergreen lines could be the beginning of the Karinthy-ringed rock'n'roll humorist László Hadházi's solo evening. Everything is given: enthusiastic audience, light and sound equipment, stage, kitchen and beer masterpieces, guitar, guest speakers. "I've picked up some local stories. Stories that are truly Hungarian, in the best and funniest sense of the word. There are many things in our mentality that a foreigner doesn't understand even if he has lived here for years. It's natural for us, but we end up laughing at it ourselves. That's what the title refers to: 'Méd in Hungeráj', says Laci, who is always in his element. He introduces the stage, talks about the family, takes me on trips abroad, inland, to Debrecen, even behind the soundproofed door of the oral surgery, sings with Bruti and Tibor Aradi, while all the stories are Hungarian. Very Hungarian.
