Best Western Hotel des Nordens, Mark Fries
“Everything was great. He was loved by the audience and really good at leading people through the Chili universe with humor and a great sense of how to handle an audience. All our guests, including ourselves, left with a great feeling that this was spot on. Big kudos to Klaus, especially for taking the time afterwards for a photo session and extra chili tasting. It was really appreciated by the participants.”

Denmark's strongest lecture!

Chili Klaus is the man behind one of Denmark's biggest internet successes. With over a quarter of a billion views on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram, his chili tastings with famous Danes like Bubber and Smadremanden have long since become part of Danish popular culture.

It all begins one summer day on Bornholm, when Klaus is bored. He sets up a camera in the garden and records a short informational video where he talks about chilies and then eats one. The video goes viral, and thus begins a chili adventure of another world, which has sent the good Chili Klaus around every corner of Denmark.

A meeting with Chili Klaus is an audience-engaging lecture that mixes anecdotes, humor, chili tasting and possibly music in a lively and unpretentious way. And yes, a lecture never the same.
