Komedier og standup

Living out of a suitcase, waiting for his career as a stand-up comedian to finally take off, Andy struggles to process the life-ruining end of his relationship with the only woman he's ever truly loved. Trying to solve the unsolvable mystery of his broken relationship, he has a lot to learn - not least his ex-girlfriend's side of the story.

Igennem tyve år har zirkusdirektør Søren Østergaard rejst land og rige rundt med sit Zirkus Nemo. Med sig har han haft nogle af landets mest markante og alsidige artister, som hver på sit felt med stor virtuositet og professionalisme har bjergtaget danskerne med deres kunst. I bogen møder vi blandt andet Baconmanden, kendt og elsket for sine performances, hvor han som menneskelig flæsk har ladet sig stege på en glohed pande i oversize. Vi møder også Bager Jørgen, der er berømmet for sin forrygende optræden med dansende wienerbrød for det danske kongehus. Senest er han sprunget ud som digter med den bedstsælgende samling 15 erotiske brøddigte, som går som varmt brød. Som alle store kunstnere og genier slæber de rundt på tung bagage. I bogen får vi eksempelvis den tragiske historie om, hvordan det musikalske geni Manden, der ikke kan fløjte, som igennem årtier har betaget en nation med sine koncerter, hvor han ikke har fløjtet alt fra Jazz, rock og pop til de store klassiske værker af blandt andre Wagner, mistede sine forældre ved en koncert, hvor de skulle hyldes for deres livslange opbakning. Også den fænomenale showdressør Ib Glann har mødt tragedien, faktisk var det hans berømte bedstefars død, som satte gang i hans karriere, da han efterlod sit barnebarn et brev, hvori der blot stod: ”Rid Ib”, og det gjorde han så. Smadremanden er i en kategori for sig. Om ham ved man absolut intet om hans baggrund, intet af det han selv har fortalt, har man kunne bakke op med andre kilder. Vi ved, at han i dag bor i Otterup på Fyn, men den mest sandsynlig teori om hans oprindelse går på, at han kommer fra det ydre rum og er blevet placeret her på planeten for at observere menneskene.

Jørgen Ryg (1927-1981) regnes for en af landets mest elskede og folkekære komikere gennem tiderne, og ord som ”monologens mester” og ”geni” klæber til hans navn. Men Jørgen Ryg var meget mere end det. Han var også en fremragende tegner og en af Europas førende jazztrompetister, der i en årrække nød international anerkendelse.Med en usædvanlig evne til at balancere det komiske og det melankolske var Jørgen Ryg altid i øjenhøjde med den almindelige dansker, der elskede ham, hvad enten han optrådte på film, i tv, på teater eller i en af landets mange populære revyer. Jørgen Ryg var en sjælden sammensat kunstner, der ville prøve det hele. Og som endte med at fare vild i sit utrolige talent.I bogen sætter Ulf Pilgaard, Torben Ulrich, Bent Fabricius-Bjerre, Daimi, Per Pallesen, Jytte Abildstrøm og et væld af andre stemmer ord på, hvordan det var at arbejde sammen med en af de mest særegne skikkelser i nyere dansk kulturhistorie.

I sine stærkt underholdende erindringer fortæller Woody Allen om et liv som instruktør, standupkomiker, forfatter, musiker og skuespiller – og som familiefar og ægtemand. Et ofte tumultarisk liv, der tager sin begyndelse i Brooklyn, New York. Allen giver et levende indblik i sin 60 år lange filmkarriere, fra klassikerne Annie Hall, Manhattan og Hannah og hendes søstre og frem til nyere film som Midnight in Paris og A Rainy Day in New York.Det er en historie om fejltagelser og succeser – og om de mange kunstnere og skuespillere, Woody Allen har mødt på sin vej. Om hans venskaber, ægteskaber og romantiske forhold. Ligesom han i bogen giver sin version af forholdet til skuespilleren Mia Farrow.

.Den enlige mor Clara forsøger at finde sig en plads på et arbejdsmarked, der synes at afvise hende, inden hun har fået knappet den øverste knap i sin sirligt strøgne skjorte. Mens afslagene bliver flere, brevene fra A-kassen mere og mere aggressive, og en arbejdsgiver flytter ind på hendes sofa, åbnes der op for en mental verden, hvor frustrationer kan vokse sig så store, at virkelighedsfornemmelsen må vige for pladsen. Til sidst er der ikke andet tilbage end at spørge sig selv, hvor langt hun vil gå for et job.I en firkant er en satirisk roman om et nådesløst arbejdsmarked og A-kassens bureaukratiske helvede. Birgitte Klahn former en skarp og humoristisk virkelighed, der i løbet af romanen udvikler sig til at blive lige dele mere alvorlig og absurd."Statsministeren toner frem på skærme, skærme der ikke altid har været der, storskærme der er dukket op på rådhuspladsen, på banegårdspladsen, på torvet, på busterminalen. Hver morgen, en ny skærm. Statsministeren siger, at hun er så skuffet, og hun er så forbløffet over den forkælede mentalitet. Med et udtryk som en mor, der har opdaget de hemmelige cigaretter i skuffen. Mens hun ser lige på mig, siger hun:“Vi kan mere, og vi skal mere.”"Birgitte Klahn (f. 1992) er uddannet i filosofi og historie. Hun er oversætter og har tidligere udgivet børnebogen Fantastiske filosoffer på forlaget Bolden. I en firkant er hendes debut som romanforfatter

A SUPERB NEW AMERICAN VERSION.Of the many translations of Chekhov's THREE SISTERS for the English-speaking world, this one is very likely the Funniest.The footnotes alone are a useful and humorous compendium of notes and anecdotes.A DEFINITIVE NEW VERSION OF CHEKHOV'S VAUDEVILLE."Chekhov wrote Three Sisters in Yalta, and then rewrote it in early autumn in Moscow. He spent two to three days on each act, but there were significant breaks between the acts. With complete sincerity he said that he had written a VAUDEVILLE, and was taken aback at our amusement of this definition of Three Sisters..." - these words were written in 1917 by Nemirovich-Danchenko, co-founder of the Moscow Art Theatre (MAT) along with Stanislavski. "Given the ensemble playing, the friendliness of the performance, and maturity of form, Three Sisters was always seen in the theatre as the best of the Chekhov productions."

Dario Fo var et kunstnerisk fænomen. Skuespiller, dramatiker, instruktør, scenograf, billedkunstner, aktivist... en rabiat satiriker, der sammen med sin partner i livet og på scenen, Franca Rame, tog nogle kampe, de betalte en høj politisk og personlig pris for. Men Fo opnåede også en pris. I 1997 modtog han Nobelprisen i litteratur. Fos groteske komik vandt en særlig genklang i Danmark. Som oversætter, tolk og forsker fulgte Bent Holm hans arbejde gennem et halvt århundrede, hvor der også udviklede sig en personlig relation imellem dem. Bogen skildrer Fos brogede liv og værk fra opvæksten blandt fiskere og fabulanter over hans tid som kontroversiel kritiker af et forbenet regime, altid i anarkistisk opposition, og sluttelig frem til hans fokus på kunst, kultur og historie. Alt sammen indsat i et landskab af Italiens nyere politiske historie, hvor grænserne mellem utopisme, ekstremisme og terrorisme skred fatalt – og tilsat forfatterens egne oplevelser med fænomenet Fo

" ...Ce n'est donc rien d'avoir étéChaque jour, hiver comme été,Soumise à ton moindre caprice,Sans que mon zèle s'amoindrisse ?D'avoir vécu toute pour toi ?Je ne connaissais qu'une loi,Ta volonté !..."

" Que de dettes j'ai, non pas à payer, ce qui serait impossible, mais à reconnaître, avec la plus vive gratitude !À mon cher confrère, M. Jules Claretie, à l'écrivain, au romancier, au journaliste, au critique d'art, à l'auteur dramatique mille fois applaudi qui administre aujourd'hui la Comédie-Française, je dois les plus affectueux remerciements, et je les lui offre ici du fond du c¿ur. Le jour même de son entrée en fonctions, avant tout autre soin, il m'a écrit de venir lire aux comédiens Socrate et sa Femme, voulant tout de suite affirmer sa prédilection pour la Poésie, en accueillant un de ses plus humbles dévots, qui est en même temps un des plus obstinés et des plus fidèles. D'accord avec le Comité de la Comédie, il m'a donné une hospitalité fraternelle, et il a mis à ma disposition son goût exquis, ses conseils, et toutes les ressources qu'offre le premier théâtre du monde,Que ne dois-je pas à M. Coquelin ! Non seulement il a joué le personnage de Socrate en grand comédien, exprimant la sagesse, l'ironie, la bonté, la superbe éloquence du philosophe, bien mieux que je n'avais su le faire ; mais il a adopté ma comédie, il l'a mise en scène ; il en a insufflé la pensée et l'âme à ses camarades, heureux d'écouter les conseils de sa jeune expérience, et certes, je puis dire que ce petit poème est à lui autant qu'à moi..."

Quatrième pièce conservée d'Aristophane, après Les Acharniens, Les Cavaliers et Les Nuées, Les Guêpes s'inscrivent dans le cadre de la longue lutte de l'auteur contre le démagogue Cléon. Cette fois-ci, la question de la paix passe au second plan ; c'est le fonctionnement de la démocratie athénienne qui est visé. En effet, Périclès a institué une indemnité journalière destinée à inciter les citoyens à participer aux tribunaux - Athènes possède en effet une justice populaire directe et collective. En 425 av. J.-C., trois ans avant les Guêpes, Cléon a porté cette allocation à trois oboles, attirant ainsi les citoyens âgés - qui deviennent de redoutables jurés professionnels - et accroissant sa popularité. En conséquence, nombre de citoyens se pressent dès l'aube devant les portes de l'Héliée, règlent rapidement les affaires en cours, perçoivent leur triobole et sortent libres de leur journée.

Excédé par la médiocrité des poètes athéniens du moment, le dieu Dionysos décide de se rendre aux Enfers, accompagné de son esclave Xanthias, pour chercher Euripide et le ramener parmi les vivants. Par mesure de précaution, il se déguise en Héraclès, puisque celui-ci a réussi à revenir vivant de l'au-delà. Après avoir envisagé les différents moyens d'accéder au monde des morts, revêtu le costume et fait quelques rencontres insolites (comme un mort qui préfère revivre plutôt que de faire le porteur), Dionysos et son esclave descendent au bord du Styx où Dionysos est obligé de se mettre à la rame, sous les chants du ch¿ur composé de grenouilles (d'où le titre de la pièce).Arrivé aux Enfers, Dionysos-Héraclès est confronté à tous ceux qui, pour une raison ou une autre, ont eu maille à partir avec le vrai Héraclès, et par peur, passe son temps à changer de costume avec Xanthias plus courageux que lui. Enfin reçu par Hadès, Dionysos organise un long débat entre Eschyle et Euripide. Chacun des deux poètes défend les qualités de son ¿uvre par rapport à celle de l'autre, dans une longue discussion qui alterne arguments littéraires et injures.Finalement, Dyonisios pèse leurs vers avec une balance. Ce sont les vers d'Eschyle, plus lourds, qui l'emportent : Dionysos modifie son projet initial de ramener Euripide, et ramène finalement Eschyle d'entre les morts, non sans emporter au passage quelques présents mortels à l'adresse de certains vivants athéniens.

Les Nuées est une comédie grecque classique d'Aristophane, du Ve siècle av. J.-C.. Le thème de la pièce est le conflit des générations qui oppose un vieil Athénien, Strepsiade, et son fils Pheidippidès. Elle met en scène Socrate, et c'est à ce titre que Les Nuées furent l'une des pièces les plus étudiées depuis l'Antiquité.

Plutus est la dernière comédie d'Aristophane que nous ayons conservée. Si l'on en croit certains lexicographes, une première version avait été jouée en 408 av. J.-C., mais elle ne nous est pas parvenue. Représenté alors qu'Athènes est encore sous l'hégémonie de Sparte, le Plutus n'a aucun rapport avec le contexte politique. La pièce est présentée lors d'un concours nouvelle formule: cinq poètes comiques concourent désormais au lieu de trois. Nous n'en connaissons pas le gagnant.Comme l'Assemblée des femmes (392), Plutus marque l'évolution d'Aristophane vers la Comédie moyenne : la parabase disparaît et le ch¿ur joue un rôle bien moindre. Les deux pièces partagent également le même thème : Aristophane y aborde le problème de l'inégalité des richesses.

Agoracritus, un vendeur de saucisses, est en concurrence avec Cléon pour obtenir la confiance et l'approbation de Démos, un vieillard qui incarne l'allégorie du peuple athénien. Après différentes épreuves, Agoracritus est jugé le plus digne de confiance et humilie ainsi le démagogue Cléon en restaurant la gloire de Démos.
