Grin til Gavn 2023

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.

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!).

Join Melvin Kakooza, Mahamad Habane, Hadi Ka-koush and Joel Hyrland on Denmark's biggest comedy arena tour ever. It will be historic, unique and not least hilarious.

Niels Hausgaard's show at Vega, from his 2006 tour "Vildskab" (Wildness).

With the show HELDIG, Mark is on a mission he describes as: “To bring the laughter back when there's sometimes not a hell of a lot to laugh about”. HELDIG is about getting a chance to embrace the bumps in the road instead of always painting the devil on the wall. The idea for the new one-man show HELDIG actually originated in BØVL, where he worked with the moral: “that it doesn't pay to worry, because your greatest fears rarely come true”. As it turned out, this moral had a tragicomic outcome in the comedian's own life. A week after the show premiered on TV, Mark got the news from his doctor that they thought he had cancer. "The human in me was scared, but the comedian in me was deeply impressed by the timing! Two things are certain: 1: I can't wait to get out there with my new show. 2: I don't dare bring a big moral" - says an otherwise fit-for-fight Mark le Fêvre.

A stand-up show steeped in irony and sarcasm - to the extent that there is a difference. I don't really know when I'm being ironic, when I'm being sarcastic or when I'm being sincere - and what the difference really is. It sounds like a problem for my psychologist, but they're expensive... It's just easier to write a stand-up show.

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.

Contemporary topics with weight are taken up and dealt with. And through magic and in a caustic style, Rune, with his well-known self-ironic distance, makes room for new thoughts.

That's right, you read that right, I'm back! Not only that, but I have a new show coming your way at Musikhuset. It's about being a man, but not feeling masculine. About being embarrassingly aware of your own limitations and deeply frustrated at not being able to move them. It's about all the worries and frustrations I go through as a husband and father. About the desire to be able to change myself, combined with a burning hope to just accept who and what I am. It's about crazy experiences and what we all struggle with, life, thoughts, emotions, and all the shit we can't control. It's about being the opposite of SUPERMAN, namely Elias Ehlers. Most of all, it's all about me! Me! Me! Me! Me! ....MORE ME! - Elias Ehlers

Huxi Bach actually has doubts. But doubts are good, because then you're not so sure after all. The only certainty is that Huxi is ready to take on big and small issues.

One of Denmark's most hyped comedy duos, Martin Johannes Larsen and Rasmus Wallbridge, head up the annual charity show.

Everything will be turned up when Simon goes on tour with his latest show ‘EXTRA EXTRA’ in spring 2025 and for the next several months. A show that takes your breath away, like a well-placed jiu-jitsu chokehold, with equal parts reflections on the extravagant moments of his career and the brutal constraints of everyday life. From private jets in the US to reflux in Solrød. From kimchi to potato chips. From (finally) becoming a father in a tornado of poor sperm quality and fertility treatments, to losing his own Irish father in a cloud of tobacco smoke and lukewarm Guinness. The atmosphere in Simon's ‘ad libitum’ bar is fun, honest and generous - do you want an EXTRA? Or as Simon puts it: “It's going to be grand, spectacular, sensational, pompous and yes... EXTRA EXTRA!”

At a time when everyone is turning off the gas and saving electricity, it can be difficult to remain optimistic and hopeful for better times. But fear not! The renowned singing lodge Ørkenens Sønner (Sons of the Desert) has created a show that will blow all evil and gloomy thoughts out of the way. The heat hasn't been turned down, but the charm has been turned up! This time, the brave Loge brothers turn their gaze to sensual Paris. In a festive fireworks display of French temptations, historical and piquant scenes are performed, and as always with the awareness that it's all about keeping your finger on the pulse.

Torben Chris' ABC

A show about the search for love. Tobias has done very little active dating in his life. But now he's taken a serious plunge into everything from dating apps and unsolicited social media macking to asking out women he meets on the street. This has resulted in a string of failed pick-up attempts.

Thomas Hartmann: Jokebox

Danish craftsman comedian Anders Nielsen is ready with his new stand-up show “FAGLÆRD?”. When Anders stood with his student cap on his head and envisioned a future as an academic, it was not in the cards that he would end up with a trade certificate in his hand. But carpentry became his true calling, and now he's convinced that his background as a PROFESSIONAL has made him far more LEARNED for life's big and small challenges. Maybe he really is a PROFESSIONAL? 'SKILLED?' is not only a fun insight into the academic mindset of a craftsman, but also a much-needed tribute to the construction industry. Everyone is welcome - whether you have clever hands or sit behind a height adjustable table! There will be jokes for all tastes, whether you're subject to the lunch box or canteen scheme. In short, this show is not for you!

Perfection, excess and other bullshit words is my third one-man show. It took over three years to write and edit, and I hope it shines through when you're sitting at home on your couch watching it.

With the new show Optur, it's time to laugh and have a good time again, where Simon Talbot in his usual style transforms themes from his own life, such as hair loss, social media, cats, gaming, nose hair, Danish laws, the contrast of growing up with a Jehovah's Witness mother and Irish street boy father, married life, women's overly hot baths, and much much more, into jokes we can all laugh at. Over the past year, Simon has had stress reactions, spent too much time on social media, watched (way) too much Tiger King and acquired a sugar addiction, which he turns into a brand new Danish-language comedy show.

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.
