It’s been a busy week. Writing, running a presentation workshop for one of Linköping’s biggest companies plus gigs at home and gigs away.
On Tuesday night, I found myself in Uppsala at a student venue. It was an English language gig organised by Joe the guy behind the Wisecrackers nights that are popping up all over southern Sweden and Denmark. I had a nice gig and it was cool to hang out with a mixed bag of English speaking students and comedians. The headliner was a Canadian called Jason Rouse, who is big in the US, Canada and the UK and his act is something unique. He is known essentially for taking bad taste to extremes that most people’s constitutions have never even contemplated. I won’t try and describe his routine here in too much detail, as I’m worried my keyboard might break under the stress of typing such material. Instead, take a look at his website… but be warned: It’s close to the knuckle.
Thursday, I was back at Palatset in Linköping with a nice line up of Swedes with not a tattoo or a piercing between us. Worth mentioning is the headliner, Isak Jansson, who once again showed his comedy skills are plentiful. I really believe it’s just a matter of time before we see him on the telly here in Sweden. He is also pretty good in English and hopefully he will start playing London soon.
This week, I’ve got plenty to do: A couple of gigs, but also I need to start the real hard marketing for the big show at Sagteatern in Linköping, where I’m putting on one of the best live stand up acts in the world: Al Pitcher. So, (the hard sell starts here) if you are in Linköping, book your tickets now! (Link to FB event)
