Where: Høllin
Duration: 80 min.
Why is a good mortgage suddenly sexier than a body shot of tequila? Why can’t the boyfriend guess what he’s thinking? Why is everyone getting married and having kids? And most importantly: Why hasn’t anyone said anything?
Ruben Søltoft – one of the heavyweights of the Danish stand-up scene – is back in full force after a break from the spotlight. And a lot has happened since his hit show Ting fra min mund. A whole lot, actually.
His 30s hit Ruben like a freight train – for better or worse – and set him off on a more or less involuntary coming-of-age journey, which we now get to hear about. Luckily (or obviously), his crisis-ridden gut feeling and the absurdities of adult life have fueled some of the best material Søltoft has ever delivered.
Even though he tackles serious topics, it’s hilariously funny. With honesty and courage, he dives into pressure to meet expectations, loss of identity, stress, self-worth, parking problems – and ugly children. In other words: adulthood.
All of it is seasoned with a genuine near-death experience in Mexico and an absurd hostage situation in his own car. Ruben is back in top form.
Why Hasn’t Anyone Said Anything is a show about fumbling through adult life with humor as your weapon. About losing your footing – and finding yourself again. It’s socially relevant, brutally honest – and laugh-out-loud funny from start to finish.
