In a skillful and very entertaining way, Serbian actor Nikola Djuricko he knows how to tell the most interesting things from his life, switching from one story to another, and yet as if telling a whole.

That is the beauty and the biggest plus for his standup show "Showbiz", which took place last night at the Philharmonic, and tonight from 20 pm he will play once again.

One of the stories is related to Skopje. Djuricko's grandmother strongly wanted to be an actress. As the daughter of an officer, who was reassigned to Skopje, she was not allowed to do so.

- My grandmother wanted to become an actress, but her father didn't want to hear it, he didn't let her. Out of disappointment, she threw herself into Vardar. But it was some time in the spring or summer, and only the mud remained, so my grandmother saved herself, threw herself into the mud," Gjurichko said. His grandmother, however, became a successful theater actress, as did he himself many years after her.

Although people know him mainly from television and movies, Nikola was a scholarship holder of the Yugoslav Drama Theater and there he played serious plays with great actors. Black humor is the story when the theater caught fire, and he, as a young actor, together with his colleagues, went to save some of the props.

"The water was up to our knees, my colleague and I stripped down to our underpants and grabbed what we could, mustaches, wigs," he recalled.

When the police came to make a report, Djuricko was one of the suspects because he smoked on stage in a play. Giving joking answers to the policemen, he said that he only smokes expensive cigarettes when he has money.

Milena Dravič and Dragan Nikolic were an important part of his life, and he called them his movie and theater parents. Once he was late for a performance for an hour, he forgot that he even had work that day, and the famous acting couple was waiting for him. Drinking mulled wine at his friend's place before the performance, when he came on stage, after his panicked brother came looking for him at his friend's place, he completely forgot the lyrics. The greatness of Milena and Dragan was that they didn't get angry at him, but laughed, and Bogdan Diklic and Branko Cvejic "took him out".

There were also many stories about the legendary Vlasta Velisavljevic, who died prematurely at the age of 95, and had the entire military history in his little finger. Vlasta played in the theater in Tuzla with Nikola's grandmother, and he jokingly asked him: "Are you my grandfather?"

The stories about his friend, Nebojša Glogovac, were also inevitable, and the most legendary is the one when, after a film festival with Sopot, they didn't have eight euros to pay for a grilled lamb, a few flatbreads and a full bag of beers.

"What a glamour, hey, we ate the lamb on the hood of the car when we arrived in Belgrade - movie stars," said Djuricko, and the money to pay for the "feast" was lent to them by Josif Tatic.

Nikola also told that he was annoyed by the paparazzi, and those who persistently filmed the audience with their phones, even though he asked them several times not to do so. He called his theater audience the elite.

"If it wasn't for you, I would have starved to death," he said.

Those who will watch Djuricko's show tonight will have a great time, and in Skopje we were invited to the "Taxirat" festival in cooperation with "Skopje Comedies".
