Lubomír Černík, the founder and leading figure of the Satirical Theatre Večerní Brno, was one of the greatest acting talents in Brno in his time, but his activities were far from focused only on acting: he was primarily a famous cabaret artist and entertainer, an author of theatre texts, songs, poetry, journalistic texts and anecdotes, a translator, theatre and television dramaturge, radio presenter, film actor and writer. Contemporary reviewers often compared him to his lifelong paragon Jan Werich. What happened to this former megastar and what was her subsequent fate? The article will introduce the audience to the ongoing research, the result of which will be a professional monograph, and at the same time draw attention to certain limits and topics that are currently emerging here.
