Sometimes you have to look back before you can look forward. And that's what Niels Nielsen does in this stand-up special.

In this special, Niels has put together a veritable POTPOURRI of jokes and highlights from his life so far in the world of comedy. Other than that, is there any real theme to the special? Nope!

The special was recorded at ICC Theater in Copenhagen on 19/10-2024 during this year's UP Festival in front of 45 happy people.
