Claes Eriksson

One of Sweden's most successful humor groups of all time; we tell their story. How it all started with small steps of success, radio sketches, folk park tours, setbacks and eventually like an albatross that is difficult to lift, in the end the humor group flies and once it lifts it flies well and long. Still after 40 years, they work together. The film also contains never before shown material, and premieres in connection with the group's 40th anniversary.

"You could have met in the office over coffee and cake to say congratulations, and that would have been that," writes Claes Eriksson in the preface to the 30th anniversary party's program. But that will not be the case...

Sweden's most popular and best comedians were commissioned to make their own sketches based on ten selected themes. It resulted in 10 episodes, 120 sketches, and 300 minutes of Swedish humor.

Merry Christmas! it says so well, now that it's Christmas again. Christmas concerts or amaryllis, which are most common? We do not know. But we are many who want to be drained on the Christmas spirit. Now this Christmas show is no concert in the traditional sense. We have asked ourselves: Are the little (swedish dancing) frogs really so funny to see? And on this basis we have tried to create a somewhat different Christmas concert, but which we nevertheless assumed Christmas fundamental ingredients. Cast apart After Shave & Galenskaparna do include: Carl Einarsson Häckner The unimaginable orchestra Johan Wellton Lisa Alfgrim with Slam Maltese Button

Alla ska bada hade premiär den 4 oktober 1997. Föreställningen tar sin början under mitten av 1930-talet när Frans-Oskar Bryssel föds. Efter ett tag hoppar föreställningen tio år fram i tiden och vi får se honom när han är 10 år gammal. Han spelas då av Per Fritzell. Handlingen hoppar med jämna mellanrum tio år fram tills han äntligen får bada i mitten av 1990-talet. Under hela föreställningen skildras ämnen som var aktuella under just den epok som då utspelar sig i pjäsen. T.ex. under 30-talet skildras andra världskriget och under 80-talet skildras mobiltelefonin.
