Zulu Comedy Festival: De håndplukkede
Torben Chris - GALning
Look forward to experiencing the phenomenon Adam & Noah, who fought their way to the top of Danish comedy in record time. Here from their last and biggest tour of Denmark.
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.
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!”
Michael Schøt takes his razor-sharp political satire and pointed punchlines out onto the Danish country roads, where he asks the question: Democracy or Demoncracy?
Dear friends, this is my 9 year anniversary DVD. It contains material that I have written and performed with since I started as a comedian in 1993 - both new 9 year anniversary. I have chosen not to have any "bonus material" with, for the simple reason that virtually EVERYTHING that I have made that have not previously been published, found on this DVD.
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.
'Levemand' will be a reunion with the playful satirical comedy style that has made Dybvad one of the country's most popular comedians.
It's hard not to prick up your ears when Linda P shares her life story. She has been a slut, tried to distinguish between Linda Petersen and Linda P, suffered from headaches, and given up her wild lifestyle to become "normal" and a so-called "model citizen." BUT... is it really that easy to stay on track and live a quiet life without causing trouble? Has Linda been able to avoid messing up her closest relationships? And what about love? Is it even possible to be in a relationship when you are born a wild child? Look forward to Linda P's fifth one-woman show, where she once again shares herself and her frustrations about her ingrained "fuck-up gene."
Jacob Tingleff: Pyt med skjorten
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.
Shut up, there are a lot of things tumbling around in the head of someone from Northern Jutland, who grew up in a small town where the nineties were a thing a few years after they had kind of let go of the rest of Denmark. 38 full and half educations and careers attempted to get started have drawn Anne Bakland from Østervrå across the country and to Copenhagen, where she landed with her feet firmly planted on the stand-up stage with a microphone in hand and a bag full of both questions and answers about all the bullshit of life.
Niels Nielsen is ready with his first solo show Moments of excitement. It will be a comedy show that, despite the title, is packed with surprising twists and insanely funny jokes from start to finish. Just as we know Niels from his sketches, songs and, not least, always well-prepared stand-up.
One minute you're biting your nails at world events, and the next you're laughing in impotence. Michael Schøt has spent most of his stand-up career in the space between these two emotions. His ability to capture the zeitgeist here and now, but playfully observe it from the outside, has thrilled not only audiences, but also critics - who over the years have attached words like “one of the best stand-up comedians in Denmark”, “a comic elemental force”, ‘virtuoso’ and “the absolute sharpest and fastest satirist in the media” to him. Jubelpessimist is a show about an eternal optimist in a gloomy world. A shot of joy, warmth and laughter for the dark times.
Niels Hausgaard's show at Vega, from his 2006 tour "Vildskab" (Wildness).
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.
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.
Torben Chris' ABC
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...
