Thomas Wivel

Talegaver Til Børn celebrated its 15th anniversary in December 2007 with three sold-out shows at Forum. The FBI's annual charity show was produced in collaboration with Unicef. For 15 years, between Christmas and New Year's Eve, people have been able to laugh for a good cause in the company of the country's best stand-up comedians, and the 2007 shows definitely lived up to the success of previous years.

Danish stand-up by Lars Hjortshøj, Lasse Rimmer, Anders Fjelsted, Omar Marzouk, Anders Matthesen, Rune Klan, Uffe Holm, Sebastian Dorset, Jonatan Spang, Klaus Bondam, Dan Andersen and Povl Erik Carstensen.

Nyt comedy show af Thomas Wivel ! Thomas Wivel har optrådt i spidsen af dansk stand-up i over 10 år – nogen kalder ham stand-uppernes GODFATHER. Han er en evig inspiration for alle, der holder af stand-up. Thomas kan noget med timing og levering, som ingen kan gøre ham efter. Det ser så legende let ud, når Thomas går på scenen, men underkend aldrig det enorme engagement, som driver Thomas til altid at være med helt fremme i alle afkroge af stand-uppens udvikling.

In 1995, Carsten Bang, Jakob Petterson, and Thomas Wivel went on air on ZTV with a project that would later prove to have a decisive influence on their lives and stand-up careers. The three comedians started out experimenting with the talk show "Nu forstår jeg ingenting" (Now I don't understand anything) and then crystallized the best ideas from the talk show into the comedy show "Det' Jo Løgn" (It's a lie). Det' Jo Løgn is the first comedy created by the new generation of comedians in Denmark. Classic comedy was mixed with surreal twists in the borderland between the somewhat understandable and the completely hazy – and out of this sprang a highly remarkable cast of characters. Who doesn't remember The Vendelbo, the angry man at the pub, and Frank? Characters who have since gone viral on YouTube, where thousands of viewers have clicked their way through the absurdities.
