The 2008 Circus Revue with Denmark's best revue actors: Ulf Pilgaard, Lisbeth Dahl, Henrik Løkkegaard, Ditte Hansen, and Niels Ellegaard. Quality, laughter, humor, and joy—or, to put it another way, in one of the many glowing five-star reviews: It's funny and it's crude. It's festive and it's cheeky. It's beautiful and it has a professional flow.
The biggest revue success of the year, Cirkusrevyen '95. More than 150,000 people have cheered and laughed along with Lisbet Dahl, Ditte Gråbøl, Claus Ryskjær, Ulf Pilgaard, and Niels Olsen. Lots of music and singing, biting satire, and a completely outrageous show make Cirkusrevyen '95 a unique and fantastic experience that can be seen again and again.
Svea hund, complete title Svea Hund på Göta Lejon (Svea Dog at Göta Lejon), was a Swedish variety show produced by AB Svenska Ord. It was written by Hans Alfredsson and Tage Danielsson, commonly known as Hasseåtage and directed by Tage. The show premièred on 15 February (although it had a sneak première on 9 February) 1976 on the theater Göta Lejon in Stockholm. It was the last of the three "Dog-revues"; the first was Gröna hund (Green Dog) the second being Gula Hund (Yellow Dog). Both Hasse and Tage starred in various roles. Other cast members were Gösta Ekman, Monica Zetterlund, Lena Nyman, and Tommy Körberg. The song quartet EBBA (Lena Eriksson, Lars Bagge, Kersint Bagge and Bo Andersson) and Gunnar Svenssons Bandhundband.
The revue is first and foremost Dirch Passer's. Here he is at the top of his game in his successful career as a revue artist. A genre he masters better than anyone else. Daimi is a worthy co-star, not least in their big song number "Who have you kissed in your doorway?" and Lily Broberg, Preben Kaas, and Klaus Pagh are also in their element.

Throughout the 1970s, Sejr Volmer Sørensen enjoyed great success with the revues he staged every summer in Nykøbing Falster until 1978. It was in these performances that comedian Kai Løvring truly rose to fame. An edited version of the 1973 summer revue.

A little-known adaptation of Jaroslav Vrchlický's play is returning to the television screen, full of humorous plots, telling the story of the courage of two women in love who, because of their love, infiltrated Karlštejn Castle, where women are forbidden to enter by order of the monarch. It was created with a number of star actors eight years before the now legendary film adaptation by Zdeněk Podskalský. When it premiered in 1965, it aroused a stormy, positive and negative response. Quite naturally, because Filip's concept of this classic play, albeit in the authentic setting of Karlštejn Castle, was completely new and unconventional at the time. This adaptation of the classic original uses the melodies of popular Czech and foreign hits with lyrics by P. Kopta. For example, the ruler's arrival at the castle was announced by the melody of the popular song Jó, třešné zrály. However, professional singers mostly sing for the actors here.
