How do you escape from loneliness? This is the theme in this play of the 4 ordinary people Amalie, Christine, Nicolai and John. Press 2 for Personal Service is the story of unhappy fates, each and every drawn deep into loneliness basically without knowing it.

They get daily invites to go out from the mid-life crisis struck John, who soon realizes that something must be done to get out of his loneliness and back to youth. Nicolai, who is hopelessly in love with Amalie, must soon realize that in Amalie's world there are more important things than him. They all continue their lives undisturbed, but the consequences of loneliness is rapidly catching up on them.

Undercover assignment as a potential customer from GreatLiving.com making his presentation at a meeting for the top management at the logistics company Bring. The task was to create a virtual character with his own company to come and provoke the participants to get them to think out of the box.
"We used Jan as an actor where he played a demanding and strange customer for our top management. The goal was to get people to think out of the box. This was a difficult task with the regard to the set-up. He was very much into the creating of the concept and the result turned out very well. He was very easy working always with a balance and perspectives. Best recommendations."
