Stand-up.dk is, I suppose, the closest thing you can get to an american stand-up special in Denmark. But then not really because it’s usually only 12-14 minutes per comic. Still it was the first stand-up show on TV which makes it a classic.

When I was young and lived back home with my parents, I didn’t think much about stand-up comedy. If something was on the TV I would watch it and enjoy it but nothing more than that. I remember though seeing Lasse Rimmer (you know him from the clip above) and liking him. I don’t really know what set him apart from all the other comics but I do know that I can still remember some of his jokes.

This year in May I’m doing stand-up.dk for the first time — and guess who I’m sharing my program with. That’s right, Lasse Rimmer.
