Lasse Eriksson
Swedish actor, comedian and writer (1949–2011)
Lars Gunnar "Lasse" Eriksson (1 April 1949 – 3 March 2011) was a Swedish comedian, actor and writer.
Eriksson was born in Piteå, Sweden. He took a Bachelor of Arts in economic history before he initiated a theatrical career in the 1970s, when he played at the Panic Theatre in Uppsala. With a brass band in 1983, he did the show Vad varje kvinna bör veta om män (What every woman should know about men). In 1984, he became known to TV audiences with his personal contemplations in Dagsedlar (Daily pages), which were brief five-minute episodes accompanied by the dog Hillman. In 1985–86, he was the presenter of Café Luleå and in 2002, he was the team commander in Snacka om nyheter (News talk). Eriksson was also part of the original 1999 panel of Parlamentet, where he teamed with Annika Lantz in the red party.
Eriksson rose to fame mainly as a stand-up comedian. He also composed and wrote several songs, among the best known is Stället, a stylish reflection on rural people's everyday thoughts. In 1992, Eriksson participated in the stand-up revue Spik at the Vasa Theatre, and worked with Iwa Boman on the shows Jägare och jungfrur, typ (Hunters and maidens, sort of) (1995) and Är du för eller emot EMU (Are you for or against EMU) (2000).
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Lasse Eriksson” as swedish actor, comedian and writer (1949–2011). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as swedish actor, comedian and writer (1949–2011). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3298109. VIAF identifies the subject as 76289450. 1 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1949, 2011, 1983 and 1984.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
