Leif Skyving is preparing for war! After having had his sights set on a
dominating victory in last years San Francisco International Comedy
Competition, only to finish in 6th place, Leif is leaving nothing to
chance at this years Seattle showdown. "Clean teeth are a MUST"
he repeatedly admonishes himself, adding: "This time THEY WILL BE
CLEAN!" Friends and family say he has not been himself since
returning from the bay area 12 months ago.

Comedy is my life says Leif
By Leif Skyving
Leif Skyving is a 18 year veteran of corporate
and nightclub venues, playing everything from the Wells Fargo Center for
the Arts in Santa Rosa California, to special events for ARCO and BP
oil on the northern slope of Alaska. "Over the years I have
also worked for church groups, biker events, casinos from Las Vegas to
Atlantic City, and comedy clubs in venues large and small. I do it
because I love it and couldn't imagine doing anything else!"
Leif loves his work and has a knack for making his art fit in to whatever
venue he happens to be hired for. For more information about Leif click

Leif returns to Stockholm and
improves his standing in the 2007 Marathon!
By Leif Skyving
Is there no stopping this 52 year old Swede? Two years
ago, at age 50, he finished 6,705th, out of 17,000 participants.
This year 5,552nd! Considering that he is two years older
and that the race was run in an unseasonable 87 degree heat, it's amazing
to consider that Leif improved his placing by vanquishing an additional
1000 contestants! Incredibly the following night he
performed in downtown Stockholm at 'Big Ben' and once again was a smashing
success! "The Swedish crowds are fantastic, I do my regular act
in English and they laugh in all the right places!" marveled a jubilant
Leif. One of these days I'll have the guts to try it in Swedish!
Leif Skyving wins the 2005
Stockholm Marathon!
By Leif Skyving
"Well, technically I finished 6,705th" says Leif,
"but all my friends and
relatives tell me I'm a winner just for signing up!" Leif spent the early summer traveling to his native Sweden with his
family. While in Sweden, he not only finished his first marathon, but
performed to a sold out house, and standing ovation at Ove Med
Skägget, a comedy club, in downtown Stockholm.
