Some yeas back a DR2 made a satirical parody of it called the 80 years birthday (in Danish it is called "the 90 years birthday") where all the characters was played by a series of Danish comedians https://youtu.be/H07O6j6-6vQ

Thanks for sharing! I didn't know Dinner for One is a thing elsewhere in Europe, and even had parodies.

There are also some German adaptations, like the one with Anette Frier and Ralf Schmitz (two well-known comedians). It's in _kölsch_, the dialect spoken in the Cologne area - which is quite fun to listen to, at least for Germans:

I prefer the "Dinner für Brot" adaption: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smgbPO0KaZw

A lot of famous comedians have played one version of it (often live ans Theater plays, which I believe is also true for the original). Here is a version with Otto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4iCGdURpd4

There are also several platt versions (a dialekt spoken in the north which is actually more like a separate language)
