More about the performers:
Loren Mayshark (USA)
Loren Mayshark is from New York State and has been around comedy for many years. He started living most of the year in Sweden since 2015 and became a permanent resident in 2018. He’s been turning heads while doing stand-up in Europe, and although many consider his strength to be storytelling, his style is unique and centres on observational, dark, and surrealist humor but you can never be sure of what he’ll do as he’s constantly offering surprising new twists in his act.
His credits include opening for acclaimed comedians across Europe and headlining at The Immigrant in Brno, Czech Republic. He just finished the premier of his solo Show “Son of a Luddite” at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland and has graced stages such as Luxembourg Comedy Festival and Lund Comedy Festival. He likes it hot and despite the weather, loves Sweden almost as much as he loves saunas.
Alin Damian (Romania)
One of the most prominent comedians to come out of Scandinavia in the last decade, Damian has been tearing up the scene here and in continental Europe with his deadpan straight-faced delivery that leaves audiences gasping for air. Living in Sweden since 2008, he describes himself in the words of another: “He can seem socially clumsy in company but he’s really funny, even off stage – few filters and few things that hold him back“.
Get ready for a comedy storm of twisted angles about becoming SWEDE-ish that will make you giggle all the way home, and then some! A genuine artist whose work you need to witness live. This guy will make you laugh even when you’re not supposed to.
Joe Eagan (Canada)
Originally from Toronto, Joe moved to Sweden in 2000 and his specialty is entertaining crowds with people from all over the world, whether it be at comedy clubs or when performing at company and private events.
Get ready to laugh about everyday life in Sweden, stereotypes about Swedes and lots of other fun things. With his 24 years living in Sweden and 17 years of stand-up comedy experience, he treats you to a rollercoaster ride of laughs about becoming SWEDE-ish that’s a wonderous maple syrup mix of observational humour not to miss!
