English Who doesn’t know Mike Tyson? When we were just children, we heard the story of how he bit off his opponent’s ear in the ring. However, this 83 minutes long stand-up sketch is quite different as it beautifully opens up the way into Mike Tyson’s soul. The best thing about it is that he laughs at his mistakes. He admits them, laughs at them and hopes that his future will be completely different. At times I laughed, at times I just stared at the conditions Mike lived in. And it was worth it. ()

English Who would have thought that this guy, who became famous in the ring and was an aggressive madman, would eventually gain fame as a stand-up comedian? It sounds a bit like a cliché, especially when you remember the movie Raging Bull, but mostly the boxer LaMotta, who also ended up making a living as a stand-up comedian. True, he did have his club where he tried to make something out of it. Mike Tyson is good in this regard on an international level. Mainly because he can look at himself and what he did with perspective, and he's able to make fun of himself. I hope he doesn't screw it up again somehow. ()
