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 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!
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 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!
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...
I ”Plukker kameler” giver Bang sit bud på, hvordan man tackler uafklarede problemer med andre - og hvordan man accepterer dét, der egentlig strider imod ens idealer og ønsker; Man plukker kameler! Alle kommenterer og konfronterer alt og alle. Men hvad sker der ved det? Ingenting. Der er ingen selvransagelse og derfor ingen konsekvenser. Ingen lærer noget. Det hele går i ring. Fordi ingen plukker kameler!

In Tobias Dybvad's first oneman show, the comedian draws on his own life and experiences. He tells stories from his early childhood to life in his 30s. Tobias Dybvad is a comedian who stops and sees things the rest of us might not notice. He provokes the audience with his direct approach to topics you didn't think it was possible to joke about. It works and this first oneman show from Tobias Dybvad has been praised across the country, where it has sold out night after night. According to Politiken, Tobias Dybvad “has a near absolute ear for delivering punchlines”, and it is this talent combined with a “thoroughly likeable” nature that has made him a highly sought-after comedian. He manages to challenge the genre like few others and never chooses the easy solutions. This makes meeting Tobias Dybvad a terrifically funny and challenging experience where nothing is sacred.

Anders "Anden" Matthesen's critically acclaimed stand-up show from 2000-2001. About a show that shares its name with Børneradio's popular satire CD (which was made by the same man) ...but which is nevertheless something completely different! About a one-man show with four men on stage? About two hours of varied comedy, ranging from classic stand-up to music, sketches, and a host of guests.
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.
