A Letter To My Parents

In a deeply personal letter to his parents, Henning Nilsen (Norway) recounts his Edinburgh Fringe debut and the life choices that led up to leaving a safe Finance job to pursue his dream of becoming a standup comedian.

Henning is a fast-rising award-winning standup comedian making waves in the UK. He's a viral sensation with over 100 million views and has in short time gained a large following through his dry humour videos. He regularly performs at the top comedy clubs in the UK and has headlined internationally in New York, Berlin, Paris, Oslo, Bangkok and Singapore. His first solo show '1 And Done' had sold out shows at the Edinburgh and Brighton Fringe festivals in 2025.

-‘Leant into the stereotype of being an emotionless, dry Norwegian.’ Steve Bennet, Chortle

Audience quotes from 2025:

-'Very silly, very funny! It's an honour to witness the beginning of someone with so much comic potential'

-'Thoroughly enjoyed that show. Definitely worth a watch'

-'A very funny guy who has lots of potential. Look forward to next years show'

-'Drier than a Swede in an airfryer'
