Killinggänget

Killinggänget (literally "The Kid-Goat Gang") is a Swedish comedy group, started in 1991. It is named after Glenn Killing, a character played by Henrik Schyffert who has appeared in many of their shows.

The group is notable for their evolution from straight comedy to comedy/drama, a concept they have referred to as "brown comedy".
