Check this one out, swedish superstar Magnus Betnér will be for the first time in Brussels, for two shows, in Swedish on Monday and in English on Tuesday.
MAGNUS BETNÉR
Magnus has since the early 2000s built a national audience through participation in TV shows such as The Parliament and Stockholm Live. In 2007, Betnér had his first tour in Sweden, ‘Nothing is sacred’ and since then has toured extensively with the sequels Address to the nation (2008-09), the Word of Life (2009-10) and Magnus Betnér IV (2011-12). The humor style that is characteristic of Betnér is often political, often liberal and provocative. Some recurring topics that often become the object of satire in Betnérs shows about racism and religion in all its forms. Even journalism, in particular, Aftonbladet, has been a popular discussion area. Betnér often argues in his shows that freedom of expression is the most important thing, and that it must apply equally to all. Betnér has been awarded
“Best Male Comic” at the Swedish Stand-up Awards 2005 and 2010.
TOBIAS PERSSON
Tobias Persson (voted “best male comedian” in Sweden) have been a comedian and writer for nearly 15 years. Since 2009, he regularly plays the UK comedy circuit and have written three Edinburgh shows, his latest being “The drivel rights movement”.
“His material is thoughtful and silly, and he makes some sophisticated parallels alongside some surreal little islands of the bizarre and profane…an easy-going intelligence, and a curiosity which makes him lovely.” -The skinny-
“Persson’s insights are sharp, his analysis is intelligent and his everyday dilemmas over how to be a good human being come from the heart…it’s clear he’s got it in him to become one of Europe’s top political comedians.” -Sunday Herald-
FRITTE FRITZSON
Fritte is a comedian and radio host. Since 2006 he runs the humour club Oslipat in four Swedish cities and is heard each week on the podcast All my comrades. In spring 2015, All My Comrades also produced a daily radio program. 2012-2014 he was heard on P3’s sketch program Fucking Carpe Diem. Fritte performs at most of Sweden’s stand-up clubs including Norra Brunn and RAW and has also appeared in Finland, Denmark, Norway, UK and USA. In the spring of 2014 he traveled to Afghanistan as a field comic performing for troops. With charm, clever jokes and impressive audience improvisations, he is one of the best acts in Sweden.
JOE EAGAN
Joe is a Canadian resident in Sweden since 2000, Joe is also the founder of the booking company InternationalComedians.com. A maple syrup mix of observational humour not to miss!
