Surrounded by Idiots is a workplace comedy staged at Folketeatret in Copenhagen, Denmark. The production runs from 1 October to 23 December 2026, so it is a good choice for a visitor who wants an evening of theatre during an autumn and early winter stay in the city.
What to expect
As the name suggests, the play is built around the everyday friction of working life, where colleagues, deadlines and small office frustrations turn into comedy. It is performed in Danish, so it suits visitors who are comfortable with the language or who enjoy watching a production for its rhythm, physical humour and staging. Check the venue's listing for details on performance times and seating.
