A dyslexic nerd rewrites history with childhood drawings and agricultural conspiracy theories.
I've always been a nerd. A dyslexic, drawing, role-playing, special education, drug addict... nerd. At least those are the words I would use to describe myself. But am I? Or is that just the story I tell myself? Is my self-image set in stone, or can I change it? Is a life narrative plastic? And maybe it's time we looked at our shared world history in that way. Instead of having one that divides us into groups that are fighting each other in one way or another, maybe it's time we come up with a common story that we can face the future with, together. We'll go through all this, plus a hell of a lot of drawings I made as a child of historical events. We start with agriculture, the world's biggest scam...

Dense, self-aware jokes that reward close listening.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Danish stand-up has a robust tradition of 'intellectual comedy' — Fuhlendorff sits somewhere between Anders Matthesen's satire and more confessional solo show traditions.
The 'Del 2' indicates this continues themes from his 2017 special — he's building an ongoing autobiographical project unusual in Danish comedy, more Bo Burnham than traditional set.
