Hartmanns Jokebox
Reviews
Overview
One luxury that musicians have, which comedians don't usually enjoy, is the opportunity to release "Greatest Hits" albums, experience the audience's joy at hearing old songs again, release new versions, etc. Thomas Hartmann, who has been one of Denmark's most prolific comedians since 1996, has repeatedly been asked to put together a show featuring the best of his back catalog, but he rejected the idea until he came up with the idea of updating references, rephrasing individual jokes, adding and removing material, and thus creating a "Greatest Hits - remastered." After asking his fans on Facebook which old bits they would most like to hear again (and, of course, considering it himself with absolute veto power), Hartmann planned the show "Jokebox." Which of the old bits had been dusted off was a surprise for the audience, but it turned out to be a good mix of the audience's wishes and Thomas's own favorites.
