Before I ever did stand up comedy I had only ever seen it 3 times. I didn't really know what it was, I just lived my life, put myself in interesting situations and then took those stories to the stage. I never thought anything of it, I loved making people laugh in real life and it worked on stage. So when I got a Wrong Number twelve years ago I never thought it would turn into my stand up special, "SOUNDS LIKE BRUCE." I made this special because I like making people laugh, enjoy.

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.
