In recent years, Jonatan Unge has become one of Sweden's most beloved comedians. He has toured with standup companies like SEMST and Comedy Carneval, entertained us in podcasts, radio and TV programs like "På spåret" and "Alla mot alla". What he hasn't done, however, is his own solo tour - until now! "It is said that people have wanted more of me, but you have to be careful what you wish for because it CAN become reality. And yes, now it has." says Jonatan Unge. The public pressure has been enormous. After a sold-out spring, the tour will be extended in the fall. On November 23 and 24, Jonatan comes to Rival with "Jonatan Unge Solo - A very own standup tour"!
- I'm looking forward to meeting my audience without training wheels. You can never guarantee that something will be good, but this time I can one hundred percent promise that it will at least be long. In the past, I've always had to compress myself, but now I have the luxury of being able to do what all men my age want most of all - to be long-winded," says Jonatan.
Jonatan Unge has been doing standup since the mid-00s and in 2019 he was named Male Comedian of the Year at the Swedish Standup Gala and in 2022 he was nominated for the Swedish Humor Prize. Among other things, he has done eight tours together with Branne Pavlovic and Ahmed Berhan under the name SEMST and toured with Petrina Solange and Magnus Betnér, among others, under the Comedy Carneval tour flag. In other words, he is not a pigeon in these contexts, but it is only now that he takes the step fully on his own with "Jonatan Unge Solo - En alldeles egen standupturné".
- Before, you have seen me in a context, now with this show we meet completely without context and I hope it won't disgust you," says Jonatan.
- This show will be about everything I'm interested in like sex, how I look at sex, society, what I have opinions about it, history, my thoughts about history, phenomena in general, my angles on these phenomena and other things and what I have to say about other things, says Jonatan.
