What makes people help their neighbors, follow common rules, and take responsibility for something bigger than themselves? How important is trust for a society&#x27;s resilience? Where does people&#x27;s sense of duty come from? And what happens to a society if trust between people begins to falter? Two researchers meet to discuss what makes people cooperate, commit to the common good, and stand up for society when it is put to the test.

What makes a society worth defending?

Age restriction: 18 (13+ with a guardian) Sofie won a comedy award in 2015 and thinks you all stopped talking about it too soon. Remember TV? She did that too—but you’ve more likely seen her online, where she’s been funny and angry (or maybe you don’t know her yet). Called “disarmingly honest and funny,” her feminist stand-up sells out worldwide, from Edinburgh Fringe to Melbourne.

Magnus Betnér is back with a brand new standup show! &quot;Mellan oss&quot; (between us&quot;) is more than a title – it&#x27;s an invisible contract with his audience. A few secrets, but surely a promise that whatever happens during the show is something just between these two parts. A fun, honest and vulnerable show where Magnus shows more sides of himself rather than the black and white image people associate him with. Uncomfortable. Including. Just between us.

Perfect for comedy fans, expats and anyone who enjoys British humour with a Scandinavian twist.
