"I have always been inappropriate - more or less voluntarily - now I am again." It's Frank Hvam, as himself - a composite comedian, combining the lavkomiske with the gifted - an unpredictable mix of genitals and policy, seasoned with a highly developed sense of their own idiocy. "It's not because I like to provoke, but I am convinced that in the end it probably is very healthy to say things out loud. I get it every to trap better. " A classic stand-up show about what we all think, but few of us want to say out loud.

When we wrote 'Nu Som Mennesker', we wanted to try something new. We wanted to invest ourselves in the material in a different way. And develop the stand-up form. We think we succeeded a fair bit along the way. But that kind of thing is a commitment. There's no point in us just making an ordinary filming of the show when we're going to make a DVD. We have to take things the rest of the way. Because if we don't do that, who will? That's why the version of 'Nu Som Mennesker' you're now sitting with is somewhat different to the show we toured with in 2011/2012, although of course it still forms the core. We've played around with the material, added a lot of new things, moved some of the show out into reality, made a music video, let Jørgen Leth tell the story, and anything else we thought would take the show to a new place that fits the format. You have been warned!
