“So listening to famous people describe the secret of their success is about as...”
– John Roderick in a Seattle Weekly column. John seems like the guy I would kill to just be around. I can see why Merlin likes him so much. That podcast is quickly becoming my favourite podcast.

“Editing is part of the process. it’s how you form everything. In some ways...”
– Reddit: Hi I’m Louis C.K. and this is a thing.
Louis CK on why he chooses to edit all of his own show, Louie, by himself, on his Macbook using Final Cut Pro X. I think he’s right. And also very funny. You should read the whole thing and go download his new special for $5.

“I met god the other day.
I know what you’re thinking. How the hell did you...”
– You ought to read this delightfull little piece about an atheist who meets God. Perfect for the curious you who like to have your mind blown to pieces on a Sunday. You know — just to be sure, you’ll never fall asleep.
“However restrictive your privacy controls, you should imagine that everything...”
– Daring Fireball Linked List: Facebook and Privacy I know this. You know this. It would great if our friends realized it too, right? Our only solution: Be damn boring. All the time.

– Tom Robbins’ book Still Life With Woodpecker (1980).
There’s a pretty good smile per page ratio in this thing. The follow-up to this quote takes it even higher.

WatchPut This On: Season 2 on Kickstarter
To be honest, Adam and Jesse demand a whole fucking lot of money. But I assure you, it’s only because they are going to do their very best at something they really want to do. And it will come out great. I guarantee that. That’s how much I trust these two people that I only know from the stuff they’ve made that I like to put in my ear and...

“Magic has no mystery to magicians. We work variations of standard methods. What...”
– This first sentence, Magic has no mystery to magicians, reminds me of how I quickly became aware of the most common joke forms when I started writing my own jokes. And suddenly jokes didn’t seem so magical. When you see how they work and that often it’s merely a template sentence with...

Nataly is really great and I bet you know because you’ve seen some of Pomplamoose’s great covers.
So jump on over to Kickstarter and show your love by backing her album project. It’s already fully backed, but hey — let’s top that!

Last night I dreamt that I went to some kind of MaxFunCon dinner.
It wasn’t the MaxFunCon dinner, but you know how it is… I flew all the way there with only one suitcase packed and arrived just in time to change before dinner. I went to my beautiful room (met some other Danish guy, I think, but that part is blurry) and went downstairs where I met and shook hands with a very kind,...

If I’m on stage and the audience aren’t buying my style or my jokes, the last thing I do is try to give them something else.
It took me some time to figure this out and a lot more time to learn how to do the opposite. The audience don’t know when and how I’m at my funniest. I do. I’m the person who’ve seen me perform the most times. By far. That’s why,...

Here’s a thing I love. DR, the national tv and radio broadcasting corporation, which everyone in Denmark pays for, podcast nearly every show they do. (They often suggest that the listener can ‘podcast the show’ which is wrong use of the term and they could just as well stab me right in my internet-guy earhole.)
They can’t do it with the music heavy shows because of rights...

In English please
One week ago in Aarhus during the Aarhus Comedy Festival I performed in English for the first time in my comedy career. I didn’t prepare for it but between two shows I went to an English open-mic with some Aarhus friends and the host there, a wonderfully talented brit whose name I can’t remember (sorry lad), put me on the list for 5 minutes when he found out I was one of the Danish comedians.
I...

LCD Soundsystem played their last show last night... →
Donald Glover’s post makes me appreciate the one time I saw LCD live in concert even more than I already did. It was last year in Barcelona and they absolutely rocked the overwhelmingly giant in-door stage. I was happy.

“Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.”
– Picasso on Inspiration (via swissmiss)
Understanding this quote came easy. Typing it into my browser window was easier. However, doing something about it is something I still struggle with.

The Danish comma rules are very strictly defined but also hard for some to understand. We’ve tried reforming the stringent old format but ended up pulling the changes back, resulting in some people of my generation only knowing the new, wrong, way.
Now, I know my way around a Danish comma. The old one, the right one. And I always put an effort into using them correctly everywhere — in...

I don’t know Thomas Høgsted, but I’ve been told this story about some sound advice he gave to a new comic after the guy’s first 5 minutes at an Open Mic.
The new guy had done alright — especially for a first-timer. And after the show he asked around for some good advice from his more experienced, new colleagues. The advice Thomas gave were these. One. Just do the jokes,...
