Acting
Carsten Bang is a Danish stand-up comedian.
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.
I ”Plukker kameler” giver Bang sit bud på, hvordan man tackler uafklarede problemer med andre - og hvordan man accepterer dét, der egentlig strider imod ens idealer og ønsker; Man plukker kameler! Alle kommenterer og konfronterer alt og alle. Men hvad sker der ved det? Ingenting. Der er ingen selvransagelse og derfor ingen konsekvenser. Ingen lærer noget. Det hele går i ring. Fordi ingen plukker kameler!
Comedy Aid 2011
The wait has been long, but now coronavirus and lockdown can finally be replaced by laughter and enjoyable time with friends and family. A number of the country's best comedians interrupted their Easter holidays and took to the stage for a good cause in 'Grin til gavn' (Laugh for a Cause) – Save the Children's comedy show. The hosts of this comical extravaganza are Ane Høgsberg and Martin Nørgaard.
Anna, a young and aspiring actress who has not had much success, offers to care for the father of Jorgen, who has been burdened with the responsibility. The father, Walentin, is in a mostly comatose state, which makes him the perfect audience for Anna, who begins acting out her scenes in front of him. Gradually, Walentin shows signs of recovery -- but is this due to Anna's kindness, or is it possible that the old man is a pretty good actor himself?
“Sometimes I am enthusiastic – other times I am resigned. Sometimes practical and logical – other times reckless. Sometimes I am full of confidence – other times just drunk.” Look forward to another philosophical, eye-opening, and highly entertaining show from Carsten Bang, who this time comes face to face with several faces of himself.
