The unique Estonian comedy duo Boris Bogdanov and Sergei Rymar in a new production of the comedy Dinner with a Fool!

When a brilliant mind encounters genius stupidity, the real show begins!

Dinner with a Fool is a brilliant comedy of manners in which laughter coexists with irony, and deep themes are hidden behind apparent lightness.

Every week, a group of arrogant intellectuals hosts a dinner party… with fools. Each brings along the most ridiculous guest they can find, for the sake of merry mockery. But this time, things don’t go according to the plan.

The main character, Brochan, a self-confident publisher, finds the “perfect” candidate: a simple-minded tax inspector with a mad passion for collecting. But this “fool” turns out to be not so simple. Instead of becoming the object of ridicule, Pignon begins to destroy Brochan’s life. Due to a series of absurd coincidences, the evening turns into a disaster, and the smug intellectual from hunter to victim of his own plan.

The comedy Dinner with a Fool is a true celebration of French humor: witty dialogue, elegant plot twists, colorful characters, and an international cast will give you an evening of laughter and brilliant theater!
