“Tingleff, Tingleff or Tingleff” is the show where one of Denmark's sharpest stand-up comedians combines jokes, storytelling and the big screen into a well-told story based on life's many choices and the eternal question: ”What if?” What if the young Tingleff had never left his hometown of Kollund, but instead married his high school sweetheart and got a real job? Would he have been happier? Or the opposite? What would life have been like if different choices had been made along the way? With his usual daring, Tingleff fantasizes about the paths he never took in terms of lifestyle, relationships and political beliefs. In this way, the audience meets a total of three Tingleffs - the real Tingleff and two that never were, but could have been.

Showet spillede for sidste gang den 10. april 2010, men heldigvis blev det foreviget, da Frank Hvam leverede tre aftener i topform på hjemmebanen Bremen i København i starten af december 2009.

When we wrote 'Nu Som Mennesker', we wanted to try something new. We wanted to invest ourselves in the material in a different way. And develop the stand-up form. We think we succeeded a fair bit along the way. But that kind of thing is a commitment. There's no point in us just making an ordinary filming of the show when we're going to make a DVD. We have to take things the rest of the way. Because if we don't do that, who will? That's why the version of 'Nu Som Mennesker' you're now sitting with is somewhat different to the show we toured with in 2011/2012, although of course it still forms the core. We've played around with the material, added a lot of new things, moved some of the show out into reality, made a music video, let Jørgen Leth tell the story, and anything else we thought would take the show to a new place that fits the format. You have been warned!
