Comedian Leif
Skyving's Biography:
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!!!"
