Torben Chris – LatterLIG

Stand-up tour 2027 Torben Chris has for years been a guarantee for a very angry, hard-hitting and logical voice in Danish comedy. Now he's ready with his fourth one-man show, which has been given the title LatterLIG.

LatterLIG is not a show for the faint-hearted. It is a show that takes the mickey out of the era's most self-important tendencies, politically correct absurdities and all the things the rest of us who are not part of the constantly offended keyboard warriors on social media go around thinking, but don't dare say out loud.

According to Torben Chris, it has been a tough time over the last 8-10 years for a man with his sense of humour. People have taken comedy far too seriously, and there has been a tendency for political correctness to have stifled humour.

Torben has at times had to fight long battles and shitstorms on social media to stand firm on his right to make fun of the spirit of the age, but as he himself puts it: "If a tendency, a law, or a politician is laughable, then surely I'm allowed to call this laughable, and especially when it's done in joke form. We have literally over a period of years not been able to make a joke about the fact that women on average perhaps buy a few more candles than men, without it being possible to pin on you that you were a sexist dickhead with a stereotypical view of women".

Fortunately, the wind now seems to be turning, and we are heading back to a stage where you are allowed to make fun of more things again. That is why the show has also been given the subtitle "humour will rise again".

And if the time is not quite ready yet, then Torben Chris is in any case, as he always is - flint-hard indifferent. The show LatterLIG is boundary-pushing, provocative and just hilarious!
