Jacob Tingleff

Talegaver Til Børn celebrated its 15th anniversary in December 2007 with three sold-out shows at Forum. The FBI's annual charity show was produced in collaboration with Unicef. For 15 years, between Christmas and New Year's Eve, people have been able to laugh for a good cause in the company of the country's best stand-up comedians, and the 2007 shows definitely lived up to the success of previous years.

What happens when two of Denmark's sharpest stand-up comedians put their heads together? Perhaps the most ambitious Danish stand-up release ever! Over 100 minutes of gut-wrenching stand-up in true widescreen format, filmed in optimal settings at Horsens Ny Teater.

“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.

Danish stand-up by Lars Hjortshøj, Lasse Rimmer, Anders Fjelsted, Omar Marzouk, Anders Matthesen, Rune Klan, Uffe Holm, Sebastian Dorset, Jonatan Spang, Klaus Bondam, Dan Andersen and Povl Erik Carstensen.

In the spring of 2002, six of Denmark's best stand-up comedians joined forces under the name Den Ægte Vare. The goal was to show the audience six different styles in the original form of stand-up - completely stripped of “borrowed” jokes and clap-friendly song numbers. Through 24 shows, Varen delivered the goods in sold-out theaters across the country. The tour ended with 3 nights in the circus building, and this recording is the first of these shows.

Jacob Tingleff beviser endnu engang sit talent som komiker og manuskriptforfatter, når han sætter pen på problemerne i parforholdet og får dem vredet, så de kommer ud som ren komik med stof til eftertanke. “Jacob Tingleffs Guide til Parforhold” tager udgangspunkt i parforholdets syv stadier og slår ned på de udfordringer, der opstår undervejs - magtkampe, kønsrollekonflikter, utroskab, skilsmissetanker osv. for at besvare det endegyldige spørgsmål: Hvem er de par, der når til stadie syv?... Er de virkelig lykkelige? Og i givet fald hvordan? Glæd dig til et show med meninger og jokes flettet sammen til intelligente pointer, der går rent ind hos både mænd og kvinder.
