Abbuzze! Der Badesalz-Film

The film mainly consists of various, often grotesque episodes. There is also a frame story from which the episodes are derived. However, the connection between the frame story and the episodes is very weak. Many episodes revolve around surveillance and security. In the frame story, insurance agent Erich and Richard are stuck together in an elevator that is unusually large for an apartment building (about 3x3 meters). While Erich wants to get out as quickly as possible, Richard isn't actually in any hurry, as he seems to live in the elevator.

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.
