Seva Wertman builds standup on everyday anxiety and the joys that adults can't afford for a long time - neither literally nor figuratively. His concerts are a chronicle of compromises and searches for enlightenment against the background of grandmother's mattresses and ghostly Hogwarts, where mortgages are more important than magic.
Werthman doesn't pretend like things will get better or offer consolations. He honestly says out loud what many would prefer to forget: reality is far more ridiculous than any fantasy, and a sense of humor is the last way to stay afloat amid the meaninglessness of news and gray everyday life.
