Humour Day

2009-2016

Tibor Kalmár - my father - tried to realize the House of Terror after the House of Humour. He received considerable encouragement and support from the profession, and good promises from the socialist government back in 2003.

This was not the first thing that was not kept, but then the grand plan was modified to propose Hungary to the UN, that - since so many things have already had their "day" - it should be Karinthy's birthday "World Humour Day"! Unfortunately, however, the UN wasn't so keen to World Humour Day; so humour was left to Hegyeshalom and Záhony between Záchy and Záchyó just simply as "HUMOR DAY" - and then the "The Humour of Survival, Jewish Humour in Pest".

On these days, the best and the brightest of the Hungarian humour world took part: in the theatre, cinema, tram, circus, mall and on the street for one day at least on the real comedians and comic performers, not on politicians people laughed at politicians.
