| Ingvar performs the old fashioned way, with lots of audience participation. Ingvar on the piano, and chances are he will bring a friend or two to help lead the sing-along. (Ingvar's singing voice sometimes needs help).
To liven things up he also does stand-up comedy and stage antics. (Victor Borge has been Ingvar’s hero since childhood!) "Working on the Railroad" has really never been meant to be a funny song... but it is now. Ingvar+crowd+piano = fun.
Ingvar has entertained in senior centers, English pubs, Legions, restaurants and country inns since his high school days when he learned how to fake songs on the piano. He still fakes them. But a little better. YES - He knows the 'old Norwegian songs!
He was born and raised in Norway and has lived in Canada and US since 1971. His music and antics have entertained folks since day one in Canada where he played in the Seamen's Church and pubs in Montreal.
These days he lives in Vancouver and for fun he races Dragonboats. He soon discovered that some of his team members could sing, so often they tag along to make the show more... shall we say... colourful.
Please don't hesitate to call Ingvar for more information or to book an event. He is very flexible since he's a geek and works from home. The regular show’s duration is about an hour and change but he has been known to carry on until the last person packs it in.
