Lindeman (characters)
Lindeman is the surname of a large family of fictional characters portrayed by Swedish comedian Hans Alfredson in improvised monologues. Alfredson performed as Lindeman in the revues '' Gröna hund'' (1962), '' Gula hund'' (1964), '' Lådan'' (1966-1967) and '' Under dubbelgöken'' (1979). Every evening when the revues were played, an interviewer played by Lasse O'Månsson or Tage Danielsson would mention a topic from that day's newspaper and introduce a character called Lindeman. Alfredson would then improvise over the given topic. Alfredson got the idea for the Lindeman sketches when he visited New York City together with Povel Ramel, and went to a so-called "instant theater" in Greenwich Village Greenwich Village ( , , ) is a neighborhood on the west side of Lower Manhattan in New York City, bounded by 14th Street to the north, Broadway to the east, Houston Street to the south, and the Hudson River to the west.
