I learned this while listening to the podcast ‘Den hvide væg’ where comedian Anders Matthesen talks with his friend and co-comedian Thomas Hartmann about their careers, which touches on overlapping joke material. If you understand danish, I highly recommend this podcast. Otherwise you must make do with my subsequent research and link to The Independent ☺️

Nice recommendation. How hard is it to learn enough danish to keep up?

Can you juggle with one hand, chop vegetables with the other and gargle mouthwash while singing Amazing Grace?
