A Comedy of Recognition, Reinvention, and Ridiculousness
Danish comedian Lars Hjortshøj is tired of his mainstream stand-up career and longs to prove his talent in new ways, hoping to finally gain the respect he craves. But his pursuit of recognition takes him on an increasingly absurd and embarrassing journey, where every attempt to reinvent himself only seems to backfire. Along the way, he finds that success might not come from his career at all, but from building a meaningful relationship.
Blending fiction and reality, Big Lars is a sharp, self-aware comedy that sees Hjortshøj play an exaggerated version of himself, joined by a stellar lineup of Danish celebrity guest stars.
