Sweden’s best male stand-up comedian is a Kiwi

Sweden’s best male stand-up comedian is a Kiwi.
Al Pitcher is the 2011 recipient of the Male Comedian of the Year award in Sweden and he has just released his new book “Begravda Elefanter” ('Buried Elephants').


Pitcher says that his view of Sweden from an outsider’s perspective is like being “a kid in a toy shop”.
Swedes and foreigners are flocking to his shows and keeping a close eye on his online activity.

One of his stand-up YouTube clips has even attracted over 100,000 views.

The book was inspired by Pitcher’s award-winning Picture Show.
The book's title, which translates to “Buried Elephants”, comes from a particularly well-received picture of the Swedish ventilation shafts which bear an eerie resemblance to elephant trunks
