Nikolai Andreev is a rare patient of the very life therapy when you have to laugh to keep from crying. His concerts are not about victories and success, but about an honest struggle with age, ridiculous relationships and obsessive loneliness. Here the usual tiredness turns into a source of tired jokes and ironic confessions - because the meaning is often hidden in small, almost imperceptible details.
Choosing between the absurdity of the tea ceremony and the absurdity of the nineties is also a choice, although there are no illusions anymore. Even where everything has lost its meaning, Andreev manages to find reasons for irony, turning adult fears and cynical compromises into a caustically warm stand-up for those who have long since lost faith in motivational slogans.
