Danish comedy's sharpest tongue, Thomas Hartmann, toured in the fall of 2008 with his 4th one man show Extrospekt, where he proved to audiences and critics alike why he is considered one of the very best and funniest comedians in Denmark. His twisted brain takes us past everything from religion, technology, social values and supermarket queues, to toilet paper and pensioners' manic need for gardening, and his trademark equilibristic word games show a comedian in his most versatile show yet.

The two experienced comedians Torben Chris and Thomas Hartmann have often been accused of being male chauvinists - a baseless and unfair label... according to them.

Adding mustaches and an obvious twinkle in their eye, the two comedians engage in almost two hours of complaining about women's monumental lack of logic, and it's very funny - even according to the countless women who watched the show live.

Et comedy show til nørden i os alle! I sit nye show, Science Faction, tager Thomas udgangspunkt i sin evige interesse for underlige facts; “Jeg har altid haft den regel, at jeg ikke står på scenen og påstår noget er sandt, hvis det ikke er tilfældet,” siger Thomas Hartmann. “Dette bliver, i det nye show, mere aktuelt end nogensinde.” Science Faction bliver som vi kender det fra Hartmann - klassisk, verbal stand-up comedy!
