About this show
Take a cynical, detached mind forged in Eastern Europe and train it in the art of Western stand-up, and you’ll find A Very Capable Man. Evaldas gives a microphone to the quiet, calculating voice in the back of your head for an uncomfortably accurate comedy hour. This is a show about the thoughts we all share, but are smart enough not to say out loud. Tour support for Kevin Bridges, Gianmarco Soresi and Kyla Cobbler. BBC New Comedy Awards 2025 finalist.
