Dæmonkrati

So nice to return to a good stand-up form again!

I love stand-up and always have! I return to the genre now and again and this time I return to a Danish comedian that I know has only gotten so much better over the years. Micheal Schøt is a powerhouse of a performer with a great outlook on politics. He is so good at taking a neutral standing, not making anyone feel stupid for their political believes but highlighting something all of us are agreeing with is wrong with the system. With only a few dives in tempo, this is a strong show.

Micheal Schøt takes us through the current Danish political landscape

It´s great to see a comedian do a show about politics again in the right way. The problem often for me with political commentating comedians is they take a stand or they pick some low haining fruit. Schøt is good at taking dumb stuff about politics and make it more universal so we all agree that it´s stupid. This together with a great return to older jokes and great punchlines make a funny show.

The quiz things in-between must have been fun for audience but don't translate well for a viewing experience except a few good jokes. This is also one of the issues I have since this dumps the tempo down. This together with some poor editing make the show not work all the time.

But it´s been a while since I had so much fun with a stand-up show, more of this please!
