The biggest revue success of the year, Cirkusrevyen '95. More than 150,000 people have cheered and laughed along with Lisbet Dahl, Ditte Gråbøl, Claus Ryskjær, Ulf Pilgaard, and Niels Olsen.

Quality, laughter, humor, and joy—or, to put it another way, in one of the many glowing five-star reviews: It's funny and it's crude. It's festive and it's cheeky. It's beautiful and it has a professional flow.
Svea hund, complete title Svea Hund på Göta Lejon (Svea Dog at Göta Lejon), was a Swedish variety show produced by AB Svenska Ord.

It was the last of the three "Dog-revues"; the first was Gröna hund (Green Dog) the second being Gula Hund (Yellow Dog). Both Hasse and Tage starred in various roles. Other cast members were Gösta Ekman, Monica Zetterlund, Lena Nyman, and Tommy Körberg. The song quartet EBBA (Lena Eriksson, Lars Bagge, Kersint Bagge and Bo Andersson) and Gunnar Svenssons Bandhundband.
