Olof Olsson

What connects Toblerone to Steve Jobs, cocaine, Charlie Chaplin, Adam & Eve, Kant, and sanitary porcelain? Olof Olsson takes you on a rollercoaster of comic infotainment. From silly lows to poetic highs – and back again.

Driving the Blues Away is an info comedy racing through the histories of art, chocolate, cola-drinks, personal computers, philosophy, politics and theology.

Along the way there’s a romantic melodrama – where Olof’s almost partner is seduced by an ultra famous software entrepeneur in the tax-free shop of Dehli’s Indira Gandhi Airport. The whole thing is steeped in Olof’s twisted love of language:

“Our language and the world are not always hooked up one-to-one. It’s a mess, and that makes us nervous. But it’s a funny mess.”

Admission is free.
