Lithuanian entertainer Žilvinas Žvagulis has declared he will "go all out" at the upcoming "PVŠ Roast of Arūnas Valinskas," an event promising to bring together different generations for a night of humor and career retrospectives. Scheduled for October 17 at the Žalgiris Arena in Kaunas, the show's organizers describe it as a platform to revisit the most embarrassing or interesting moments of Arūnas Valinskas's long career. Žvagulis, a close friend and colleague of Valinskas, claims to have accumulated enough legendary stories and compromising material to fill several books, suggesting he will not hold back during his performance. "There is probably no person in Lithuania who has been on the Olympus of fame longer than Arūnas Valinskas, and so much has been done during that time that there is certainly reason to roast him," the organizers stated. The event aims to feature numerous well-known personalities and stars who have previously participated in roasts, with more surprises promised. The concept of a roast involves sharp humor where participants are playfully mocked on stage, with the main star often being the primary target. However, organizers emphasize that it is not bullying, as all participants attend voluntarily and have the opportunity to retaliate. The humor maintains a balance between biting wit and irony, with participants remaining friends afterward. The event is scheduled to start at 6 p.m., with doors opening at 4:30 p.m., and is expected to last about three hours, with an age restriction of 16 years.
