Kristian Valen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kristian Valen is a Norwegian comedian and popstar. He was born on the 13th October, 1974, in Stavanger in Western Norway. He started his career in radio, and has now had two TV-programs and released one CD.

His father, Inge Valen, was a famous soccer player for the Norwegian football team "Viking". Kristian Valen started playing soccer already at five years old because his family wanted him to follow in his fathers footprints and become a famous soccer player. He was really talented, but he gave up when he was 16 years old, because he claimed that it was too serious and had too much trainings and he didn't have enough time for friends and girl-friends. His father was disappointed, and told his son that either he had to get an education or he had to get a job.

He is still most famous as a national comedian in Norway after his 2003 show Valen TV.
