Elias Ehlers is a Danish comedy show

Hello there! At the beginning of 2016, we traveled around the country performing our stand-up show “The Dark Beard”. The show is named after our podcast of the same name and consists of us doing stand-up for about 50 minutes each. In May we recorded it at a packed Bremen Theater in Copenhagen and now we want to share it with you! So pull out your credit card and spend the equivalent of a pizza lunch on some really good stand-up. We promise you, you won't regret it.

You are, of course, invited when TV 2 ZULU celebrates the Danish comedy industry with a huge party at the Opera House. Rune Klan is the host, who will use every means possible to create an evening filled with surprises big and small, stand-up comedy, magic, and lots of fun—and we are quite sure that it will be a success. Two of the evening's highlights are the presentation of the awards for 'Talent of the Year' and the prestigious 'Comedian of the Year', with this year's nominees being: Jonatan Spang, Sofie Hagen, Ruben Søltoft, and Simon Talbot.

Five of Denmark's best comedians are going on tour together in selected cities with the stand-up concept Zulu Comedy Festival – "The Stand-up Show." The concept for the evenings is quite simple. They are five outstanding comedians who love to perform and make people laugh. The audience can look forward to a show where each of them covers all corners of the genre with sharp and, not least, humorous observations. The lineup for the Zulu Comedy Festival – "The Stand-up Show" consists of the following talented comedians: Geo, Martin Nørgaard, Jonas Mogensen, Ane Høgsberg, and Elias Ehlers. With this strong lineup, the audience can look forward to a formidable evening in the name of comedy when the five comedians take to the stage at the tour's four exclusive shows.

FAR is Elias Ehlers' third one-man show. As the title suggests, the show is about Elias' new role in life – a role that has turned his world upside down. Elias became a father just over a year ago and quickly decided that he wanted to create a show about his first year as a new father. It is a hectic and overwhelming period, where there is not really any space to say all the things that make your head explode. Elias creates that space with "FAR" and invites the audience right into what for him is a beautiful, frightening, and completely crazy time, which has also made him look inward and see who he really is and who he wants to be. The result is an uncontrollably entertaining show that may also make you wiser – no matter where you are in life.

As children, Nick and his little brother take care of their baby brother while their mother drinks herself senseless. But the baby dies, and both brothers blame themselves. Many years later, Nick is out of prison after serving time for an assault. He drinks, lives in a shelter and tries to help an old friend. When their mother dies, Nick meets his brother at the funeral. The brother, who remains nameless, is a single father to a young boy, but also supports a drug habit that is spiraling out of control. When an opportunity presents itself, he becomes a drug dealer to secure his son's future. Eventually, the two brothers meet again.
