Rune is not a fan of traditional classic magic shows where you wear a tuxedo, top hat and take yourself very seriously. Paradoxically, Rune has been heavily inspired by the big Las Vegas shows with big props, but that's where the party stops... It's still Rune Klan. The show is called “Rune Klan Goes Large” and that's exactly what he does - magnifies it all up! Rune toured with “Going Large” in 2007.

Niels Hausgaard: Live

Niels Hausgaard's tour, 'I alle de rige lande' (In All the Rich Countries), featuring guitarist Chr. Alvad and singer Signe Svendsen, visited Odense on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And it was sold out. People got what they came for. As always, Niels Hausgaard's tour of 67 concerts is completely sold out—and it's easy to see why. He is Denmark's best seated stand-up comedian, managing to skewer the warlords Bush and Fogh with witty and funny angles, ridiculing Camre and the Langballe and Krarup cousins until there's not a dry eye in the house. He also exposes the creeping fascism at the Danish royal family's dinner tables, overflowing with marble cake and self-satisfaction.

Combining his trademark wit and self-deprecating humor with original music, Bo Burnham offers up his unique twist on life in this stand-up special about life, death, sexuality, hypocrisy, mental illness and Pringles cans.

Ed Byrne is one of the most prolific young comedians in the UK and as an observational stand-up considered unrivalled. He has performed five hit UK tours and has made his London West End debut in a two-week run at The New Ambassadors Theatre. Throughout the spring of 2005 he performed a sell-out tout of the UK with his show 'Me Again'. This performance was filmed at the City Varieties in Leeds in March 2005 and contains all of Ed Byrne's best material from the past ten years.

Christian takes us from the beginning, more precisely the big bang, to the creation of our solar system, past the beginning of life, the origin of man, all the way to the Greeks, philosophers and the birth of the West. How can nothing become everything? And how can a weak monkey go from being at the bottom of the food chain, starting on all fours, to standing upright on two legs at the top of the heap? We've got 13.8 billion years to go, so buckle up, we're in a hurry!
