Fredrik Andersson is one of the best stand up comedians in Sweden. You should react to more of his comedy. He has done stand up at the big clubs for many years and he is really experienced and has much routine win the stand up community and he is one of those ho hasn not done much else otside the stand up world, in comparison with the likes of Johan Glans, who has done many other stuff on TV and so on. But Fredrik Andersson is really funny
The thing is that he is PC in that he doesn't punch down. He doesn't joke at the expense of "midgets" when he includes them in a joke, they are just part of the joke. So he isn't non-PC but also not fully PC in that he uses the word "midget" for comedic effect.
I saw him live a year ago and fell in love with his comedy. After that I found out he has been in many shows that I did not like and have done some phenomenal comedy since I was a teen, possibly even a few years earlier.
He is one of my absolute favourites, i dont think i have seen any performance when he was this young or any in English, i discovered him like a couple of years ago.
Fredrik is for sure my favorit Swedish comedian! If I have a video recommendation for you, where can I send it to you? I have translated a video with Johan Glans and David Batra that I am sure you would enjoy.
If you haven't already, you should check out his channel. He does a lot of darker jokes nowadays that you'd hopefully find funny. One of the very few Swedish comedians who dares to joke about anything that doesn't scream PC. EDIT: dares, not dare.
I think Swedish and British humor historically has been very aligned. Before the likes of Johan Glans and David Batra we used to be very satirical and had dry humor just like in the UK. You should keep exploring the good parts of Swedish comedy! In the 90s Sweden was extremely ironic and dry, then we stopped producing good comedy in the early 2000s even though of course there are some outliers like Hipp Hipp and Grotesco.
Skulle svens humor blivit sämre? Det tror jag knappast. Det låter med som du är typen man nu ofta driver med ”Nu får man inte skämta om någonting för att alla blir kränkta i det här jävla landet”
If you havent watched Andrew Schultz (not swedish but anyway) He is a comedic chameleon and so good at making his material about local events/stories wherever he performs
Our best comedians are not necessarily as good when they perform in English. I don't know if you found Magnus Betnér yet? He is one of Sweden's best, but it is almost painful to see him perform for foreign audiences. Mainly because the audience doesn't know where they have him. We know what to expect and are not shocked, but foreign audiences become silent and don't know how to react to what he says, like when he jokes about religion and circumcision in the US. Unfortunately, there is very little of his performance in Swedish with subtitles.
Yea, he's great. And that way that he waits in the audience reaction with that little naughty boyish look in is face. Brilliant.
One of Sweden's finest and funniest. I just love him!
I think you would enjoy Jonathan Unge and his stand up, seems to be up your alley.

Hes one of the greats, most swedes recognize him from different Tv comedy shows or standup.
Fredrik Andersson is my favorite stand-up comedian. He is great.
It was kind of cute when the audience member helped him with the town name. :-)

He´s the greatest.
I can recommend Fredriks show "Sunda värderingar" that is aviable with english subtitles.

Saw him live 2 months ago, super funny
He was young back then. :)
The fun thing is that he really tried to check in his dwarf friend I send you a link to the video

You can post it here?
It's not true that Brits are ugly. I have been traveling to the UK since 1977 and have definitely seen three men and four women who were attractive! 😀

Fredrik has sooo many moore fantstic sketches...But they are almost all in Swedish language and not translated
Have you seen Al Pitcher about Sweden?
If you havent watched Andrew Schultz (not swedish but anyway) He is a comedic chameleon and so good at making his material about local events/stories wherever he performs
So funny. You have a good fun detector in you, Scotsman (that came out strange). Highlander?
The story is kind of true. he made that for a candid camera show
The small person thing
You should react to the scetch where he talks about his "chinese girlfriend"
3:35 I can't tell what he said here, I was what?
He has no gray hair here, so it is a early performance. :)
You can also tell from the video quality...
95% better than British comedians? You're on glue and either the crowd is paid to laugh or it's a laugh track.
He should have said "Like the British, but with teeth".

Fredrik used to be great! Unfortunately he has turned into a alt-right clown nowadays. Huge loss.
