Lars Gunnar "Lasse" Eriksson (1 April 1949 – 3 March 2011)[1] was a Swedish comedian, actor and writer.[2]

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.[3] 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.[4]

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). For many years, one could hear Eriksson at the radio program Telespånarna at Sveriges Radio P4 on Sunday mornings.

Eriksson died 3 March 2011 on stage during the show Fyra lyckliga män 2 (Four happy men 2) at the Regina Theatre in Uppsala.[5]
