Poster for Ane Høgsberg: Dårlig Feminist

2017 · ★ 4.0 (1)

The show is about finding yourself by looking inside yourself. More specifically, it is about recognizing that you are a bad feminist and finding peace with that. About not letting your opinions be dictated by others and about how some people cannot claim ownership of a word or a definition. It is about there being room to be bad at something and that it is perfectly okay. In the spring of 2017, you can experience Zulu Comedy Galla Talent Award winner Ane Høgsberg in her debut one-woman show for the first time. She will be accompanied by a surprise warm-up act, which (without giving too much away) proves that the stand-up industry is not made up of white, oppressive men, but is actually full of supportive and good colleagues who can recognize talent when they see it and are always willing to back it up and, well, well, warm up for one of the new stars in the Danish stand-up firmament.

Pick an outfit. You need to get dressed and just go out. How difficult it could be? Check how much cleavage you have. Does it show your bra? Wear a nude one so that it won’t attract attention. Don’t give people the wrong idea. If your boobs show, cover it with a scarf . Just to be sure, use a safety pin so that the scarf doesn’t move. In fact, you don’t actually need the safety pin, just pin an evil eye bead. Now, that’s safe.
