Five of the country's best stand-up comedians, Michael Schøt, Tobias Dybvad, Brian Mørk, Anders Fjeldsted, and Christian Fühlendorff, perform together in the show "De udvalgte" (The Chosen Ones). Each with their own style, the five comedians deliver plenty of sharp opinions, dark humor, bizarre whims, embarrassments, insults, and, not least, a good dose of self-irony.
Writing
Five distinct comedic voices, zero mercy for anyone.
Acting
Performers weaponize their own personas brilliantly.
