The stand-up show “Kandidāts” is a political satire comedy taking place at Priekuļu Kultūras nams in Priekuļi on 24 September 2026. In this performance, Ekharts Kūps uses humour, irony and satire to examine the absurdities of election campaigns, debate pledges, and everyday situations in politics. What if Kūps himself became a candidate and promised the impossible? The evening is filled with exaggerated promises, familiar political scenarios and stories that offer a light-hearted perspective on politics. The show is recommended for adults who enjoy laughing at political games and pre-election pledges. The performance is in Latvian.
