Annika Aakjær

Opening in the seductive style of the sixties, »A Funny Man« uncovers the perennial loneliness that comedian Dirch Passer (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) has found himself in after a fast-tracked rise to fame. He struggles between his own desire to gain critical respect and servicing the audience¿s needs. Costing his kindred friendship to on-stage partner Kjeld Petersen (Lars Ranthe) Dirch takes on Steinbeck's classic »Of Mice and Men«, only for the audience to break out in laughter at his first line. Dirch's Lennie becomes a running joke, and so has, Dirch believes, his own life.

Thomas has to take over his wife's job of conducting the family orchestra. Two fateful days intertwine. Both are imperfect, unpredictable, and beautiful in their very own way. In these two days, Thomas is confronted with 3 vital things.

The lives of five unrelated people — a husband, a doctor, a wife, a student, and a young daughter — are turned upside-down with irreversible consequences.

Danish singer and comedian Annika Aakjaer first one woman show.

Between Christmas and New Year's Eve 2022, it will be 30 years since Danish comedians first took to the stage to raise money for children in vulnerable situations.
