Mikkel Rask - HAPPY ENDING

Zulu Comedy Festival: De håndplukkede

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.

In 1998 at Sct. Jørgens Skole in Næstved, the then 14-year-old Heino Hansen wrote a Danish essay that had his class in stitches. The otherwise shy and anonymous Heino became the funniest kid in the class from then on, and Heino Hansen was born! In Heino's first comedy show, you're taken back to the day he realized he was funny.

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.

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.

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.

“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.

”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!

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.

Danish stand-up show from 2019

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.

I think we've all been longing for something to laugh about. And I've really missed getting out and performing and meeting my beloved live audiences. I can't wait to see them all in the venues. This time it will be pure stand-up from the top shelf. In order to tour during a pandemic and war, you need an easily adaptable set-up... so all I'm bringing is the microphone, myself... and jokes - lots of jokes. Get ready... it's going to be a blast!

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 Matthesen (Danish stand-up) performs his new show "Anders"

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.

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.

Christian Fuhlendorff follow up on critical acclaim with the new one man show: "To make a short story long" "I have a dog and a house, a girlfriend and a daughter. I live even in the world's happiest country, Denmark! I have all the pieces to be for. I just do not know if I'm happy. For a house also means also debt and concerns that a dog does chores and to take the piss on the floor, a girlfriend means expectations and compromises, a daughter means responsibilities - and sometimes to take the piss on the floor, AND we must not forget that Denmark thus also one of the countries with the highest suicide rate. Let me put it another way: Do I be happy? " The question put Christian Fuhlendorff himself in his third one-man show "To make a short story long," which premiered at Bremen Theatre in Copenhagen 19 September 2014. In its previous shows, he took the audience on a journey into in his quirky and comedic universe. This time is no exception.

Uffe Holm: CHAMP

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.

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.
