Ane Høgsberg: Dårlig Feminist

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.

It is about there being room to be bad at something and that it is perfectly okay.

Anders Matthesen: ...vender tilbage

”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!

Mark Lé Fevre: Heldig

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.

Louis-José Houde : Tu n'es pas spécial

It is a question here of deploying all the humor inherent in the act of having a first child at the age of forty-five... But it is also a question of civic-mindedness, respect for intelligence, weight words, the weight of the self, the triumph of the “I”, then a little bit of Henri Richard and people who say “knock on wood”. A vibrant soliloquy on life and the art of living it.
