The show also coincides with a special personal stage in Mantas’ life – his fortieth birthday. The evening in Kaunas will be an opportunity to look back at what has accumulated over four decades: people, relationships, work, mistakes, successes and failures, absurd situations, and stories that have long been too many for one stand-up program.
Mantas gives his phone to the audience
Today, a phone is probably the fastest way to get to know a person. Messages, missed calls, emails, searches, photos from parties and the bedroom, notes that no one was supposed to read, and things that until recently were not on our phones – conversations with artificial intelligence. It is precisely there today that things may lie that we do not tell even our closest people.
During this show, Mantas Stonkus will do what a normal person would not do even among closest friends – he will give the audience the password to his phone.
Messages, photos, searches, notes, and other digital life will become the material for the show. The boundary between the stage Mantas and the person behind the scenes will practically disappear for one evening. Of course, Mantas never claimed to be completely normal.
There are things we don’t tell people but tell AI
In recent years, another place has emerged where we leave an incredible amount of ourselves – conversations with artificial intelligence. We ask AI for advice about relationships and work, tell it about our fears, or even test the silliest ideas.

Sometimes we ask it questions that would be embarrassing to ask even Google. Therefore, a person’s conversations with AI today can tell more about them than their social networks, but on the evening of May 8th in Kaunas, another historic step will be taken.
A specially created and trained AI model based on Mantas will appear on the show stage – a kind of digital copy of Mantas, familiar with his stories, thinking, humor, and life experience. That is when the experiment will begin: which Mantas knows Mantas better?
The organizers emphasize that this will not be just a stand-up transferred to a bigger stage. The “Žalgiris” arena space was chosen not only because of the number of spectators – the evening itself is created as a large-scale spectacle combining live comedy, theater, cinema, music, and technology, with the audience itself becoming an important part.
Screens, cameras, and artificial intelligence here will not just be decorations or effects. Technology will become a kind of another character of the evening – able to complement Mantas, contradict him, expose him, or even reveal things he himself does not yet know about himself.
What happens when AI learns to be Mantas better than Mantas himself? Mantas Stonkus will seek the answer on May 8th at the Kaunas “Žalgiris” arena, at the first event of this kind in Lithuania, presented by the largest event organizer in the Baltic states, “Live Nation Lietuva”.
