Alster: A Moment of Texts

Claes Eriksson, born in 1950 in Swedens motorcity Trollhattan, is a famous swedish comedian, actor, writer, director and producer. He is a member of the group Galenskaparna and Aftershave. Eriksson has collected some of his greates texts in a book published in 2003. Now he has made an audiobook from this, a auditive experience where he reads his texts and also presents examples from film and theatre.

The text’s I like best is the parodies of different genres of littarature with fictive crazy examples. Some of the recorded samples from his shows are totaly surprisingly weird. Eriksson makes a lot of a word twisting.
Here is an humoristic example from the book (in swedish).

Claes was representating the swedish movie sector when the company Swedish Filmindustry reopened the 5 screen movietheatre ”Filmstaden” in Vallingby C (Vixton). This fall Claes and his friends in AfterShave puts up a show called ”Cartwright” at the GAS-club Read more on International Movie Database’s page with data and facts on Claes Eriksson
