«Tilbake til nåtiden» («Back to the Present») is a comedy-musical show by Norwegian entertainer Jon Niklas Rønning, filmed at the main stage at Latter in Oslo, Norway, on 20 September 2024.

In the performance, Rønning mixes sharp humour, parodies of current events and popular music, personal reflections – including from his life as a father – and a strong musical backbone.
