Leif Skyving Comedy Show

Leif Skyving adds soy sauce to his Swedish meatballs, but don't let that fool you; he's proud of his heritage and the Swedish contribution to American culture beyond furniture, saunas, and massage. Leif uses his sharp wit and talent for characters to comment on current topics and vent about whatever happens to be bothering him.

He has an "alter ego," Curt Sudden-- a no-nonsense kind of a guy who may appear at any time. Curt plays a mean blues harmonica, just like Leif. Leif was born in Stockholm, Sweden, and moved with his family to Los Angeles, California, at the tender age of eleven. He speaks of that traumatic culture shock in his act.

He also speaks of the tremendous shock of getting married, having two children, and becoming middle-aged, all at the same time: "I was 40 when I got married. I used to complain, "God, all I do is sit around and watch TV by myself." Now, Im married with two kids and, God, I wish I could just sit around and watch TV by myself."
