Magnus Betnér “Mellan Oss” (“between Us”)

About the Performance

Between us – there are multiple ways to look back on Magnus Betnér’s career. On the one hand, a truth-teller, a voice of reason, and provocatively honest – according to many. On the other hand, raw, self-exposing, and, according to some – frankly provocative. Few have stirred up more emotions than Magnus Betnér has during his many tours around Sweden.

If it was Nothing is sacred, Address to the Nation and Word of Life that created the persona Magnus Betnér, then in 2026 it is time to get to know Magnus. All in a funny, revealing stand-up show where an (despite all evidence to the contrary) aging comedian wants to show a new side of himself. Or perhaps more of a photo with more colors than the black and white image many have.

Between us is more than a title of a show – it is an invisible contract signed between Magnus Betnér and his audience for more than 20 years. Not because what is said is necessarily any secrets, but it is an outstretched hand and a proof of authenticity that what we experience here tonight, it is just for us. Because when Magnus for the first time in over a decade makes a big tour – alone on the poster – then it will be special.

It is the story of the diagnosed child Magnus and about the life-jigsaw-solving two-child father Betnér, as well as everything he around fifty holds dear. And a little about what he marvels at.

For the past ten years, Magnus Betnér has toured as part of various constellations and in between thrashed around with the ever-living Work in progress tour. Where some might have felt that “why change a winning concept?”, Magnus wants to dig deeper to try to find the famous core.

There will be traces of ADHD, there may be fragments of social analysis. One or another celebrity may have to be dealt with. Fans will recognize themselves, fans will be surprised. Welcome to an equally uncomfortable as inclusive and a – between us – very funny stand-up show.
