For many generations of Norwegians, Knutsen & Ludvigsen are a double act who require no introduction. The International Movie Database sardonically refers to the couple as “world famous in Norway”.

Their catalogue of theatre productions, concerts, albums, books, television shows and films, have inspired and entertained all ages. A little well-known fact is that the two characters actually lived inside a tunnel, with a badger. They only ventured out occasionally to perform concerts. Their recipe for success was always weird situations accompanied by proper rock, with a healthy dose of flirting, laughter and input from the audience.

The original Knutsen & Ludvigsen received several Spellemann (Norwegian Grammy) and film prizes, and their albums have gone gold and platinum. Their ever-present album, Juba Juba is frequently voted in the top 10 of all-time great Norwegian records. The Knutsen & Ludvigsen universe (including text, music and illustrations) was created by Øystein Dolmen and Gustav Lorentzen, who played the roles until Lorentzen’s untimely death in 2010.

2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Knutsen & Ludvigsen and there are going to be all sort of celebrations, including a new animation film, Knutsen & Ludvigsen og Det Store Dyret,which sequels the runaway film success from 2015, which was been exported to all continents. Britannia Hotel is getting a march on this year of merriment, with a fantastic show this summer. Hans Petter Nilsen and Ivar Nergaard play the lead roles.
