Emil - E wie Emil träumt

Television registration of the first comedy show by the Dutch comedian Marc-Marie Huijbregts. A man has locked himself in his room and talks about his cynical view of things like charity and the children's rhymes of the Dutch writer Annie M.G. schmidt.

Funnyman Jim Gaffigan offers up his unique take on everything from Disney World to overweight whales in this live show from Washington, D.C.

This short animation set to Lenny Bruce's live monologue tells how the Lone Ranger hooks up with Tonto. With Bruce doing all the voices, this animation begins with local folks upset at the Lone Ranger because he won't stay around to be thanked after a good deed. So, he stays and finds he likes hearing "Thank you mask man." When their attention starts to shift elsewhere, he shocks and disgusts the townspeople with a final request. According to the cartoon’s producer John Magnuson, at early showings of this, gay audiences were upset by its apparent “fag-bashing”. And it’s true, part of the fun of the piece is just crying out “Masked man’s a fag”, scandalising and defacing the image of this all-American hero. But it’s within the larger context of Bruce’s analysis of heroism, and that the towns people reject the Masked Man is because of their prejudices, not because Bruce is asking us to endorse them.

Round off this piss year with a new special

Met o.a. de balk, de onderwaterscene en de zeilramp Bandkaai is het zesde theaterprogramma van de Rotterdamse theatermakers Martin van Waardenberg en Wilfried de Jong. De typische Waardenberg en de Jong aanpak isl in Bandkaai zeker weer te zien. Performance afgewisseld met miniatuurtjes van toneelspel. Grootse en wezenloze decorstukken. Schoonheid maar ook afbraak. Harde klanken naast stille beelden. Fysieke uitputting en tevens serene rust. Chaos en orde tegelijk. Waardenberg en de Jong zijn niet te vangen.

Gerijpt duo vertoont sensationeel herenleed

Waardenberg en de Jong blijven eigenwijs zoeken naar verrassende acts. Het tweetal heeft een hekel aan voorspelbaarheid, het accepteert geen grenzen, ook niet die van het opgeplakte etiket. De visuele en fysieke aanpak vormt wederom een hoofdbestanddeel van dit theaterprogramma. Waardenberg en de Jong zijn gebleven, verder is alles nieuw. Je kunt alles verwachten, ze leren het nooit.

In hun derde programma 'Jool Hul', dat vernoemd is naar een vrijersplek langs de snelweg tussen Amersfoort en Apeldoorn, slaan ze op elkaar in met reigers en in de meesterlijke wijn-en-spuug-scène rochelt Van Waardenberg in de wijd opengesperde mond van De Jong.

In their second show, Waardenberg & de Jong attack each other with yoghurt, paint, water and wood glue. They end as sea lions, diving in a pool from a water slide.

She's savagely upbeat. Lovably awkward. And full of surprises. A wildly funny trip through a one-of-a-kind comic mind.

Learning to love her luscious self over the past forty years, comedian Margaret Cho realized that the eye of the beholder doesn't hold all the power when it comes to beauty. Our tastes may be groomed by the media, but how we feel about how we look brings our self-image into focus. Armed with something more potent than lip gloss - a mouth so shocking and raunchy it should be stamped with a warning - Cho toured America with her manifesto: "This show is really about how we should feel beautiful," says Cho. "When you feel beautiful, you're going to have more of a willingness to use your voice to speak." Shot at the Long Beach Terrace Theater, Cho's latest stand-up concert film, Beautiful, explores the good, bad, and downright ugly in beauty, and the unattractive politicians and marketers who shape our world.

Dumaszínház: Nekünk áll a László - Hadházi László önálló estje

In zijn hilarische voorstelling "Wortels" neemt Klaas van der Eerden het publiek mee naar zijn roots. Opgegroeid in de jaren zeventig in een boerengehuchtje boven Amsterdam in een hippiegezin; laat het maar aan Klaas over om daar met zijn grappige verhalen, typetjes en improvisaties compleet op los te gaan. "Wortels zit boordevol originele vondsten met een hoge grapdichtheid" schreef het AD dan ook. En De Volkskrant had genoten van de "smakelijke verhalen" en noemde Wortel "een vermakelijk en zinnig programma". En dan hebben we het nog niet eens gehad over de zeer komische, muzikale hoogstandjes waarmee Klaas zijn publiek steeds weer verbaast. Conclusie: een energieke volbloed entertainer die zich iedere avond voor de volle 100% geeft en daarmee iedere zaal uit z'n dak laat gaan!
