Hasseåtage is the commonly used name for the popular Swedish comedy-duo featuring Hans Alfredson and Tage Danielsson. The term was created by the Swedish press in the 1960s, and was never used by the duo itself. But it's the "adopted" popular name for the duo in Sweden when spoken of and referring to.

They both first met each other when they were both working at Sveriges Radio back in the 1950s, first at different departments and programmes, but one day they were put on the same project and soon became close friends. They later made lots of radio-sketches at Sveriges Radio and the variety show Doktor Kotte slår till eller Siv Olsson.

Hasseåtage much came to define the Swedish entertainment business in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and their work are still extremely popular in their native Sweden.

In 1961, they started the entertainmnet company AB Svenska Ord, which would produce all their shows and films, productions that almost all have become cult-labeled in Sweden. They often both acted in their productions, as well as directed (separately or together) and wrote the material themselves. They gave their work a special trademark (with for example costumes, set-decorations and by using the same actors in many projects) and a feeling that was totally their own and unmistakable for the Swedish audience.

Their productions are also very often political and debating, using a wonderful, unique type of comedy as a liberating force for their message.

The comedy-duo was broke apart in 1985 when Tage Danielsson passed away.
