Guaranteed laughter at Bremen this Saturday

The Comedy Store is bringing high level stand-up comedy in English to Bremen Teater on Saturday May 14.

Described as the birthplace of alternative comedy in the UK, The Comedy Store has been a launchpad for the careers of countless stand-up stars, with the likes of Michael McIntyre, Eddie Izzard and Jimmy Carr all performing on their world-famous stage.

The UK’s best-known comedy brand is now coming to Europe in a big way, bringing dazzling shows to cities around the continent, showcasing the brightest stars of the UK stand-up scene.

With two shows in November 2021 and February 2022, The Comedy Store is well on its way to cementing a place as the “go-to” event for fans of stand-up comedy in English in Copenhagen.

Now the well-known comedy concept is ready with the line-up for show #3:

Get ready for:

Fearless, provocative and very funny, Ria Lina is a highly accomplished comedian, writer, actor and one of the hardest working performers in the business. A hugely admired act on the UK comedy circuit, she commands respect from the moment she walks onstage and delivers with natural ease, energy and fierceness. Ria is the only female Filipina comedian in British stand up and headlines at major clubs in the UK and internationally.

Paul Sinha is a familiar face to fans of stand up comedy and ITV’s quiz show ‘The Chase’. A former doctor of Indian descent, his comedy finds humour in his family heritage as well as his abrupt change of careers.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
