"With the 'Miracolato' tour I realized my childhood dream, but I didn't feel like I had arrived, the gap is still there" and for this reason Max Angioni returns to the theater to say that 'Even less', title of the show which starts on Friday 16 February from the Teatro Nuovo in Ferrara for 40 dates of which more than half are already sold out, including 5 evenings at the Arcimboldi in Milan.
"'Even less' because the stress of giving everything to get to a certain point is perhaps not motivated" says the 33-year-old presenter of the cult program Le Iene, which has become known to the general public thanks to programs such as Zelig and Lol 2. "Maybe we can be under less pressure with respect to the social objectives to be achieved and I believe that my generation - he comments - is realizing this".
He too feels changed: "When they took me from Le Iene I felt willing to do anything because they had taken me. Today I try to combine their way of communicating with mine".
His method, inspired by that of famous American colleagues, led him to test the new show, produced by Paolo Ruffini for Vera productions, in some small venues, which then debuted in Amsterdam, Brussels and London in three sold out evenings.
At the center of the new show is life as seen by a thirty-year-old, with his "slamming against a reality made of constant anxieties and fears", but also the news, which will enter the show with his daily life.
There will be no space, however, for issues such as war, brought to the Sanremo stage by a peer like Ghali and the 44-year-old Dargen D'Amico with their appeals for a ceasefire.
"I won't make appeals because when people go to see a comedy show - explains the 33-year-old from Como - they want laughter, but I admire those who do them in front of millions of people because they have remarkable knowledge and mastery of the subject".
"I wouldn't make appeals for their own sake, the bigger the topic, the bigger the laugh must be, but I hope one day - adds Angioni - to be able to write something like this".
It is no coincidence that among his references there are the Italian Beppe Grillo "with a frightening adherence to reality" and the British Ricky Gervais "who makes honest and sincere shows and is 100% honest".
After the indoor tranche of the tour, which will end at the end of May, the round of shows will resume in the summer in the arenas and then return to the stage again until 2025.
