DET, VI TALER OM is Denmark's gossip magazine show, and its Christmas edition is staged at Folketeatret in Copenhagen on 1 December. It is billed as the big Christmas show of the year, and it makes a lively evening out for anyone curious about Danish public life and the people who make it.
What to expect
The programme is hosted by Ditte Okman, described as Denmark's uncrowned gossip queen. She leads a panel of media personalities who enjoy a good story, working through the week's scandals and the stories that sit behind the headlines. The talk ranges across several areas:
- politics, including gossip from Christiansborg
- television and film
- business and its top executives
- cultural life
As is tradition, a parade of well-known guests in festive Christmas mode also appears on stage, which gives the evening its seasonal character.
The venue
The show takes place on the Store Scene, the main stage at Folketeatret, a theatre in Copenhagen. Its tickets and full details are listed on the theatre's website, where you can check the event page before you go.
Visiting Copenhagen
Because the show is set in the Danish capital, an evening here pairs well with a wider look at the city. Folketeatret is a theatre venue, so the show suits visitors who enjoy live performance and a conversational, audience-facing format. It is best suited to those who follow Danish news, television or culture, since much of the humour and the talk depends on familiarity with the people and stories involved.
