By following four people whose lives were devastated by the attacks on our courts, the film challenges the assumptions Americans hold about "jackpot justice."

The latest stand-up from Denmark's biggest comedian. "Anden paa coke?" toured the country in 2006 and was seen live by over 100,000 people. Anden takes the stand-up comedy genre to a level never before seen in Denmark. There are backdrops, there is scenography, there is multimedia, but at its core, it is still just stand-up comedy at its very best!
Denmark's Stokkefar is now ready with his third and funniest one-man show to date. This also marks the end of the trilogy, which tells the story of one of the country's most popular, beloved and award-winning comedians. (Did he write this himself?...shut up!).
As usual, the show is devoid of political messages and discussions about global warming. And you probably shouldn't expect Champen to take the lead in saving a bunch of pandas. Instead, you can look forward to approximately 90 minutes of direct and honest comedy, where Uffe, accompanied only by his microphone, will entertain you with his everyday observations, delivered in a way that only he can.
“Sometimes I am enthusiastic – other times I am resigned. Sometimes practical and logical – other times reckless. Sometimes I am full of confidence – other times just drunk.” Look forward to another philosophical, eye-opening, and highly entertaining show from Carsten Bang, who this time comes face to face with several faces of himself.
There are more than two hours of classic stand-up when ANDEN BRINGER OUT is just Anders, a stool and a microphone.
The show is about finding yourself by looking inside yourself. More specifically, it is about recognizing that you are a bad feminist and finding peace with that. About not letting your opinions be dictated by others and about how some people cannot claim ownership of a word or a definition. It is about there being room to be bad at something and that it is perfectly okay. In the spring of 2017, you can experience Zulu Comedy Galla Talent Award winner Ane Høgsberg in her debut one-woman show for the first time. She will be accompanied by a surprise warm-up act, which (without giving too much away) proves that the stand-up industry is not made up of white, oppressive men, but is actually full of supportive and good colleagues who can recognize talent when they see it and are always willing to back it up and, well, well, warm up for one of the new stars in the Danish stand-up firmament.
Christian takes us from the beginning, more precisely the big bang, to the creation of our solar system, past the beginning of life, the origin of man, all the way to the Greeks, philosophers and the birth of the West. How can nothing become everything? And how can a weak monkey go from being at the bottom of the food chain, starting on all fours, to standing upright on two legs at the top of the heap? We've got 13.8 billion years to go, so buckle up, we're in a hurry!
It was to be the BIGGEST comedy show ever on Danish soil when Anders Matthesen celebrated his 25th anniversary with the show “Anden 25”. More than 89,000 festive audiences saw the show, and “Anden 25” became the best reviewed Anders Matthesen show ever.
Things have been slow for too long now. Really slow. We need some speed - and Denmark gets it in Jakob Thrane's new comedy show.
The rules have changed In "Bytte Bytte Købmand". Anders and Thomas can freely use each other as to say whatever they want, and how they want. Neither of them can change the script they give each other!
Stand-Up Comedy Anders Matthesens seventh, critically acclaimed one-man show is about silence and lack thereof. Though it is anything but silent, when the King of Danish standup brings the house down. Watch the best one-man show in 2016, performed around Denmark for 6 months to sold out venues!
From spring 2015, Tobias Dybvad can be seen in his next one-man show “Er det ikke dig fra Dybvad?” which, despite the title, is not an extension of the popular TV program but a self-satirical insight into life behind and as TV host Dybvad. It's about the balancing act of being known for exposing celebrities and not becoming one of those he points the finger at.
One of Denmark's most hyped comedy duos, Martin Johannes Larsen and Rasmus Wallbridge, head up the annual charity show.
”Anders Matthesen vender tilbage” til det klassiske stand-up comedy set-up: Nærværet, improvisationen, den platte joke - side om side med noget der måske endda kunne minde om en dyb tanke? Historier fra komikerens eget liv, opdigtet vrøvl, personlige meninger, eller påtagede provokationer. Præcis hvem komikeren er, og hvad han mener, er ikke vigtigt ... Det er den fælles oplevelse og de tanker der bliver sat i gang der tæller og vigtigst af alt: Grinet! Det er så befriende at få lov at grine i længere tid af gangen. Og Anders Matthesen ved kun én ting der er bedre end selv at grine: At se dig grine!
Talegaver Til Børn celebrated its 15th anniversary in December 2007 with three sold-out shows at Forum. The FBI's annual charity show was produced in collaboration with Unicef. For 15 years, between Christmas and New Year's Eve, people have been able to laugh for a good cause in the company of the country's best stand-up comedians, and the 2007 shows definitely lived up to the success of previous years.
Tal for dig selv (Speak for Yourself) is Anders Matthesen's third one-man show. The show is divided into two sets. In the first set, Det gode sæt (The Good Set), Anders Matthesen addresses all topics from a positive outlook on life, while in the second set, Det onde sæt (The Bad Set), he takes a negative attitude.
The Danes are raging! The headlines often sound like that, and everyone gets angry - but perhaps especially Mikkel Rask. A terrific standup show about things that annoy us.
This is my first DVD. It's a recording of my show from 2008 at Comedy Zoo in Copenhagen. The show is called “My first one man show”, which I think is an original title, and it's even factually correct. It could also have been called “My second one man show”, which would probably be a more original title, but still factually incorrect. I've chosen to write some of the synopsis myself in order to limit the number of adjectives and sales phrases, like the ones right after this text, because all I really want to say is: Hope you like the show and enjoy...
Danish singer and comedian Annika Aakjaer first one woman show.
