Kevin Nealon: Loose in the Crotch (2026)
A brilliantly offbeat stand-up special where he dives into everything from skydivers who break the sound barrier to servers who put a little too much finger in your morning coffee. He riffs on the life-changing power of his TOTO bidet, the emotional chaos of texting Uber drivers, runaway Roombas and self check-outs. Kevin hilariously unpacks the loss of his beloved cat—and more importantly, the loss of the perfect jeans he buried with him—along with hospital enema standoffs, stress-eating entire cookie trays, and the deep philosophical question of what food is actually worth bending over for after a certain age.

Mark Lé Fevre: Heldig (2022)
With the show HELDIG, Mark is on a mission he describes as: “To bring the laughter back when there's sometimes not a hell of a lot to laugh about”. HELDIG is about getting a chance to embrace the bumps in the road instead of always painting the devil on the wall. The idea for the new one-man show HELDIG actually originated in BØVL, where he worked with the moral: “that it doesn't pay to worry, because your greatest fears rarely come true”. As it turned out, this moral had a tragicomic outcome in the comedian's own life. A week after the show premiered on TV, Mark got the news from his doctor that they thought he had cancer. "The human in me was scared, but the comedian in me was deeply impressed by the timing! Two things are certain: 1: I can't wait to get out there with my new show. 2: I don't dare bring a big moral" - says an otherwise fit-for-fight Mark le Fêvre.
