Sweden's Funniest Export

Volvo and Saab, might sound funny...but you'll never see them onstage keeping an audience in hysterics for an hour or more.  Therefore, Swedish - born comedian Leif Skyving is the funniest thing to come from Sweden since wooden shoes, Viking horns and funny sounding yet quality oriented automobiles.

Leif came to the U.S. at the tender age of 11.  Since then he has immersed himself in American culture without losing touch with his Viking roots.  So hearing "yumping yimmeny, the herring are hopping!" come out of his mouth would scarcely raise an eyebrow amongst those who know him.

Growing up in Los Angeles, Leif began his comedy career at the famous Comedy Store in Hollywood, on open mic night:  "Boy did I suck", says Leif.  He's come a long way since then, working major rooms is Las Vegas and Atlantic City, comedy clubs such as the Improv, Catch a Rising Star, and LA Cabaret.  Being a seasoned pro Leif has also done his share of one niters, large and small, across the U.S. and Canada.  Today Leif is a well rounded professional able to handle himself in almost any environment.  From corporate special events, like the ones he's done for Coca-Cola, ARCO, BP, and many others, to local company Christmas parties in his home state of Idaho.

"Yes", says Leif, "I was born in Sweden, raised in L.A. and now live in Caldwell Idaho.....my career is on FIRE!!!"
