Michael Schøt: Jubelpessimist
2025-10-23 · 80 min · Not rated
One minute you're biting your nails at world events, and the next you're laughing in impotence. Michael Schøt has spent most of his stand-up career in the space between these two emotions. His ability to capture the zeitgeist here and now, but playfully observe it from the outside, has thrilled not only audiences, but also critics - who over the years have attached words like “one of the best stand-up comedians in Denmark”, “a comic elemental force”, ‘virtuoso’ and “the absolute sharpest and fastest satirist in the media” to him. Jubelpessimist is a show about an eternal optimist in a gloomy world. A shot of joy, warmth and laughter for the dark times.

Danish stand-up show from 2019

In the show Things From My Mouth, the audience gets to meet Ruben in version 2.0. Although his distinctive hairstyle still battles with his brain over who curls the most, it's a more grown-up version of the popular man you meet in 2018. He still generously shares his life experiences and embarrassing moments, and in a world where fitting in is unhealthily important, Ruben is also different, awkward and damn sensitive. All these personal traits touch Ruben in the upcoming show - where you should expect the unexpected when he takes the stage. He's older, but still a bit of a goofball!

On his second solo tour, Martin Nørgaard invites you inside for a thoroughly cozy evening where you can hang your worries in the closet and close your eyes and ears to the outside world while you let Martin “Hyggefar” Nørgaard pull a warm blanket over your tired legs and serve a round of verbal chocolate milk with whipped cream.

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.
