March 26: OneLife – Zoltán Mucsi’s Bio Stand-Up
Thursday, March 26, 2026, at 7pm. One act, 90 minutes. In this series, celebs share their life-defining moments—life writes the script. Kapa to the nation, loved by all, but his start was rough. Trained as a locksmith, he dreamed of soccer, ended up as an extra at Szolnoki Szigligeti Theater. Theater hooked him; he spent 15 years there, rising from bit parts to leads. Budapest beckoned with theater and film roles alongside stars, then Scherer Péter sparked the iconic Kapa-Pepe duo. Non-stop ever since. Mucsi bares his key tales “Kapásan”—from Abony childhood to Szolnok paperboy, dramatic roles to electrician skits, Jancsó films to Tóth János. Family stories too, because life’s incomplete without them. Dangerously funny! “I expect world peace, humanity improved, climate crisis solved from this show. Even a fraction via my stories? No regrets,” says Mucsi Zoltán. Cast: Zoltán Mucsi. Director-producer: Balázs Lévai. Dramaturg: Eszter Gyulay. Visuals/VJ: Dani Kőváry, Milán Mucsi. Lights: István Ács.
