Una serata antidoto al buonismo delle feste. Dopo cene aziendali, brindisi e riunioni di famiglia in cui si diventa tutti più buoni, ecco una serata detox per ridere su verità scomode e sentirsi un po’ più cattivi (o al massimo solo più onesti). Tre artisti sul palco una sola missione: smascherare cliché, contraddizioni e assurdità della vita di tutti i giorni con cinismo tagliente e ironia spietata. Come funziona? Quali sono le cose peggiori che ti sono capitate a Natale? raccontaci tutto in anonimo e durante la serata e 3 comicǝ sul palco -armatǝ di ironia tagliente, cinismo affilato e zero intenzione di compiacere- troveranno il modo per liberarti da quei sassolini nella scarpa che ti sono rimasti. Dark Comedy Night: interazione, impro, vendette collettive: un rito collettivo di liberazione. Risate e cattiveria assicurate. DANIELA CARTA Daniela Carta registra la trasmissione Comedy Central nel 2025. “La Barbie e la Bestia” è il suo secondo monologo. Con risate caustiche e cinismo racconta dei disagi e delle incongruenze della società moderna, divisa tra la parte che appare e la parte più bieca che è in ognuno di noi. MARCO MORETTI Comico con radici nel cabaret di Malmö, debutta a Copenhagen nel 2018 e conquista il Göteborg Fringe Festival nel 2019. Dopo queste esperienze all’estero, torna in Italia nel 2022 e si afferma al Garpez di Voghera. Nel 2023 dà vita al collettivo La Fossa Biocomica. Nel 2024 gira Lussemburgo, Germania e Austria insieme ad Andrea PaoneLa sua stand-up esplora religione, immigrazione, salute mentale e Tinder a quarant’anni con ironia e coraggio MATTIA RELLINI Mattia Rellini nasce nel 1986, anno dell’esplosione di Chernobyl, fatto che in parte spiega i vuoti mentali di cui è fatto. Si laurea in legge e studiando le leggi italiane si appassiona ai testi comici. Segue un corso come autore e speaker radiofonico e co-conduce le Mine Vaganti, un format radiofonico per Radio L’Aquila1 in Fm e web. Poi a Milano segue un corso di scrittura comica allo Zelig, un corso di recitazione base al Campo Teatrale e un corso di scrittura e conduzione televisiva. E’ autore e interprete comico.
