Also, we seem to care more about American comedians than our own.
I'd never heard of Daniel Simonsen until Andrea mentioned him. And he seems to be quite succesfull. His Howard Stern gig on YouTube was amazing (and Andrea's parody of his accent was dead on).
When I googled him in Norwegian all I found was a short wiki article obviously translated from the English one. And an old article from his local towns newspaper about his Fringe success.
Hope you will have him on sometime. (But don't tell him I said his not big in Norway
)
