Zulu Comedy Festival: De håndplukkede
Carsten Bang: Bang! Jeg er død
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.
”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!
Mads de Krak has been doing stand-up for 9 years, and right now he enjoys it more than ever, which is why he's decided to take the comedy scene seriously and spread his craziness further than ever before. Standup comedy is a somewhat different career choice, it's not universally accepted and it can be difficult to defend in some contexts. But if it's what you're really passionate about, can't you do it and still be successful? Mads de Krak intends to answer this question in his latest comedy show: “Madsers of success?”. The big question is, can Mads achieve “Madsere of success?” when he turns topics from big to small in his show and shares his crazy observations and peculiar everyday problems. Throughout the show, Mads brings up several different themes that don't necessarily have a common denominator other than jokes and laughter as the main goal.
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 the Warberg comedy tour '16, Thomas focused on how we treat each other - a topic that has preoccupied and sometimes frustrated him to such an extent that it became a show. Warberg is one of Denmark's most prolific comedians and is loved for his sharp one-liners. The audience was able to experience a whole new side of the popular gentleman as he entertained with some slightly longer jokes than we are used to from his hand. Of course, still served at the same fast pace that characterizes his style.
Niels Hausgaard: Live med mer
Niels Hausgaard: Kun Ydre Ting
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!).
It's been over two years since we last spoke, and boy has a lot happened! The pandemic is over, Europe is at war and Thomas has been diagnosed with high cholesterol. Not only that, but he also has involuntary urination, has started watching reality TV, has been to Noma, got a new bathroom, and he's starting to think that maybe he's halfway through life, and has everything really turned out as it should? What's the point! Is he the best version of himself? Is society?!!! SHOULD EVERYTHING REALLY BE SO MUCH BETTER?!?!? OH MY GOD!!! Wait!!! Isn't it better that we just get together and have a laugh about it all? And oh yeah... I guess he's a father too.
In spring 2016, Christian Fuhlendorff is ready with a new one-man show, “It doesn't matter what others think, right?”, which this time emphasizes fun over an actual theme. But then again, maybe the theme is that it just has to be hilarious!
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.
Frank Hvam has lived in New Zealand with his family for an extended period. What is it like to go from being respected and recognized in Denmark to being ‘Nobody’ in New Zealand - and not least coming home again? Watch the classic stand-up show with Frank Hvam as we know him: straightforward and a little too honest. Recorded on a small, cozy stage in Amager in front of 70 audience members.
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.
One of Denmark's most hyped comedy duos, Martin Johannes Larsen and Rasmus Wallbridge, head up the annual charity show.
Mahamad Habane's first oneman show is a show of fun and positivity. With Mahamad's always happy mind, you're guaranteed first-class comedy.
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.
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."
