Big In Sweden

Synopsis

Al Pitcher may be a star in Sweden, but will he ever be as big as the Mjölby potato or the Edsbyn Bandy stick? A stand up comedy road movie where UK comedian Al Pitcher finds out what it really means to be Big in Sweden.
Over the last decade, Al Pitcher has become one of Sweden’s best loved stand up comedians. Sold out shows, television appearances and an army of fans. Al Pitcher is BIG IN SWEDEN.
Travel through the beauty of Sweden and be amazed by Giant Potatoes, Enormous Coathangers and Gigantic Cheese Slicers! This is a journey of discovery, an insight into how a comedian finds the funny, and an affectionate tribute to the less well known side of Sweden, Al Pitcher’s adoptive country.
