Omar Ahmad Marzouk

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.

The show “War, terror and other funny things” by comedian Omar Marzouk played to full houses in Denmark in the spring of 2005 and more than 15,000 people saw the 90-minute show, which was immortalized on DVD in Det Ny Teater. It's controversial and hilarious, and there are plenty of extras. Since then, Omar has performed to packed houses at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the world's biggest comedy festival. The show was received with enthusiasm by both the audience and critics from several British newspapers. This fall, Omar performed three shows at the legendary London Soho Theater and has a major feature in Time Out, the biggest guide to London's entertainment scene. Omar's satirical take on war and terror is also being heard in the US. Both News Week and the Los Angeles Times interview Omar in connection with his show.

Five Danish stand-up comedians fled the country in the spring of 2003. Their escape took them through 20 Danish cities, where they performed 29 shows for more than 16,000 audience members. On Saturday, April 5, Magasinet in Odense hosted the show with Carsten Bang, Lasse Rimmer, Omar Marzouk, Mikael Wulff, and Sebastian Dørset. That same evening, the show was recorded on video. A short time later, it was released. And in just a moment, you will be able to purchase it. Then you can watch it again and again and perhaps call your friends and say, "Come and watch 'Fem På Flugt' with me," and while you wait for them to arrive, you can watch it again before you all watch it together. And afterwards, you can enjoy watching it again. Or maybe just enjoy a game of Yahtzee and a good Swedish sausage stew. It's up to you, really. Anyway, buy this show. Come on. Be nice.
