**Grotesco** is the name of a Swedish comedy group and of a comedy television series on [SVT](/source/Sveriges_Television). It aired between 2007 and 2017. The group also participated as break entertainment in *[Melodifestivalen 2009](/source/Melodifestivalen_2009)* ("The Melody Festival 2009"), a Swedish festival to determine the 49th song to represent Sweden in the [Eurovision Song Contest](/source/Eurovision_Song_Contest), and released a CD with different variants of the hit song "[Tingeling](/source/Tingeling)", which headlined in the break entertainment.

On 15 January 2015, they had the premiere for their first stage performance *Grotesco på Scalaen näradödenrevy* ("Grotesco at Scalaa near-death revue") in the [Scala Theatre](https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalateatern) in [Stockholm](/source/Stockholm). On 3 September 2015, it was confirmed that Grotesco would do a third season of their TV series.

## History

The group was formed in the 1990s in [Lidingö](/source/Liding%C3%B6) but took its current form and membership in 2006.[1]

The pilot episode of the group’s TV series aired in 2006 on SVT as part of *Humorlabbet*, "The Humor Lab", a showcase of new Swedish humor where various comedy groups competed. Grotesco won the competition, and the prize was to have a full series of eight episodes produced.[2] It began airing en October 2007 on [SVT1](/source/SVT1).

In the spring of 2010 the second season was recorded under the direction of Michael Lindgren, and it was broadcast in November and December of 2010.

A complaint was made to police when the group performed *Bögarnas Fel* ("[It’s] The Gay’s Fault”) on *Allsång på Skansen*, a long-running sing-along program broadcast live from Skansen in Stockholm, but the Chancellor of Justice ruled that no crime had been committed and added that the song was clearly intended as satire.[3][4] The song was also performed in the series' second season.
