    Ordering Coffee in German, Why Nobody Leaves Copenhagen, and Football Dungeons & Dragons with Anders Morgenstierne | Ep 102

    Danish comedian Anders is back in Berlin two years after living here, and this time his card doesn't get declined. We talk about why he left Denmark for Berlin after failing to order a coffee in German, we talk about why almost nobody leaves Copenhagen and what it's like to grow up in a Danish town of 2,500 people, and Anders shares how he turned his football daydreams into a Dungeons & Dragons-style podcast that now sells out live shows. Also, Danish vs English stand-up, the "cover comedy" era in Denmark, the Copenhagen bun with cheese, American vs Danish 7-Eleven, The Wire rewatch, and the advice he'd give his younger self about YOLO. Anders is premiering his first hour of comedy in English in Copenhagen this October. Go see him.
