Bard Torgersen, Dario Fariello and I performed an hour long set of complete free improvisation at Cafe Haerverk in Oslo to launch Bard and I’s new book, Gullfinger, the first ever publication by Haerverk Forlag (publishing house).
It doesn’t really tell the story. The hour was one of the strangest and floppiest I’ve been a part of, it was quite something, and I was surprised how much the audience seemed to love it. It was wholesome terror, in a way. I cut my head with a mic. Bard gave out a nobel prize and threw dollars into the audience. A lot of things happened. The video is coming.
This was one of the nicest gigs I’ve done, ever. Bard and I spent the first hour of opening signing books, which was a surprise to me, as Gullfinger is also one of the most chaotic books I’ve written. But people came out in droves for Bard and Dario, they are very much loved and appreciated in Oslo.
The publishers, who run the venue, were fantastic and enthusiastic and weird like us. And we sold a load of copies. Unlike normally I stayed for hours afterward too, met some amazing people.
