Henrik Elmer is a favourite act amongst
promoters and comedy audiences all over the world. Deadpan, deliberate
and downright funny, his twisted observations could only come from a
man with a compulsion to throw his keys in the river every time he
goes over a bridge.
Currently based in Sweden, but
performing regularly all over the world, Henrik makes frequent visits
to the UK - and is always well-received.
Although rarely seen or heard on British
broadcasting, Henrik is more than a little famous in his native
Sweden, with appearances on numerous programmes that it would be
fairly pointless to list here. He is currently working on a feature
film, scheduled to be filmed in Sweden over the summer of 2006, and is
always in demand all over Scandinavia.
In August 2006 Henrik will take his
first English solo show, ‘The Sweirdish Mind of Henrik Elmer’, to the
Edinburgh Fringe. The show was born after Henrik had a great idea for
a TV show and was looking for an unusual way to present it to channel
and comedy commissioners.
