ONE NIGHT STAND MEN EDITION: After eight years of successful history, the largest Bulgarian stand-up event presents its first male edition

One Night Stand – the largest Bulgarian stand-up event – is taking its boldest step yet. After eight successful years and dozens of sold-out editions featuring some of the most inspiring women in Bulgaria, this fall the format is changing direction.

On October 18, the audience will witness the premiere of ONE NIGHT STAND MEN EDITION – the first male edition of the show that changed the perception of stand-up in our country. Seven exceptional men from completely different worlds will take the stage to do something unusual – to share the stories behind their successes.

Only true events, great victories, hard lessons, laughter, self-irony, and moments that have never been told in front of an audience.

Among the participants is Lyubo Kirov – an artist whose music has been the soundtrack of several generations for more than two decades. For one night, he will set aside his songs and share the stories that cannot be sung.

Also on stage will be Itso Hazarta – a man who has always been recognizable for his straightforward character and ability to speak the truth without beating around the bush. After music, television, and public life, it’s now time for the most personal stories.

Journalist Boyko Vasilev, who has conducted some of the most memorable interviews in Bulgarian television, will this time be on the other side of the conversation. Instead of asking questions, he will provide his answers.

The audience will also meet Yordan Rasin, whom many know as the policeman from the series “Mamnik.” Behind the popular character, however, stands an actor with many more stories than a single television season can hold.

Among the special participants is writer Georgi Bardarov, whose novels have touched tens of thousands of readers. This time he will not tell a fictional story, but his own.

The causes will also have their place on stage through Lazar Radkov – the creator of “Caps for the Future.” The man who showed that one idea can unite all of Bulgaria will reveal what lies behind the largest volunteer initiative in the country and what personal battles are hidden behind every great cause.
Especially symbolic is the participation of Stoyan Radev – one of the most awarded Bulgarian theater directors and the person behind the direction of ONE NIGHT STAND since the first edition. After years behind the scenes, this time he will be both the director of the show and one of its storytellers.

Since its inception, ONE NIGHT STAND has become a phenomenon. Eight seasons, dozens of completely sold-out performances, and thousands of spectators have proven that the audience is looking for not just entertainment, but real human stories told with a sense of humor, courage, and sincerity.
That’s why on October 18, the organizers are taking another step forward. On the same day, just a few hours after ONE NIGHT STAND MEN EDITION (5:00 PM), the traditional female edition of the show will also take place on stage (8:30 PM) featuring Alex Raeva, Militsa Gladnishka, Snezhina Petrova, Elisaveta Belobradova, Olya Malinova, and Krasimira Hadjiivanova.

Thus, for the first time, ONE NIGHT STAND gifts the audience a whole day dedicated to stories – twelve vibrant personalities, two completely different performances, and one stage where the most important script is always real life.
