STAN BORESON TICKLES THE FUNNY BONE
Stan Boreson Enterprises, Inc. 925 NE Boat Street Seattle,

Stan Boreson, “King of Scandinavian Humor” and veteran Northwest
entertainer is celebrating his 55th year in show business this year. A successful
entertainer from the onset, Stan appeared for 18 years on several Seattle
Television Shows including his longest running and most successful “Kings
Kiubbouse.”
Stan is a native of Everett, Washington and a University of Washington
graduate. He was invited to participate in his first local television show
called “Campus Capers”, featuring University Students. His success
on “Capers” led him to his second television show with local
musician, Art Barduhn, and they called their show “Two B’s At
The Keys.” Recognizing his talents as well as his humor, the Stations
Program Director created a daily afternoon children’s program for him
called “Kings Klubhouse”. The success of the show won him many
awards including the National “Children’s Entertainer Award” awarded
annually by the Dell Publishing Company.
Along with his accordion and “Songs His Uncle Torvald Taught Him”,
Stan tickles the funny bone of audiences of all ages wherever he appears.
On a dare, he began doing Scandinavian Dialect Songs by transforming popular
American Songs into humorous Norwegian and Swedish renditions. Over the years,
his songs proved so successful that he has made numerous recordings and currently
has 15 cassettes, 12 CD’s and 2 Videos of his Klubhouse Shows on the
market. His latest album is entitled, “Laughing It Up With Stan Boreson” and
contains some of his most requested songs. Included in this album are such
gems as, “I Lobster But Never Flounder”, “Cell Phone Yakitty
Yak” and “Rusty Chevrolet”. However, audiences remember
him the most for his Christmas Songs which are now featured on two cassettes
and CD’s, “Stan Boreson Fractures Christmas” and “Aye
Yust Go Nuts At Christmas”.
Although Stan likes being at home with his family, he still enjoys
traveling and performing at festivals and celebrations throughout the United
States, Canada and Europe. Some of his more memorable appearances have been
the Norsk Hostfest in Minot, North Dakota, Scandinavian/American Night in
East Meadow, New York, Little Norway Festival in Petersburg, Alaska and for
King Olav V of Norway (at his request).
When he is not performing, Stan and his wife Barbara conduct tours
throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Their tours have taken them
to such destinations as the Canadian Rockies, Nashville, Branson and Nova
Scotia, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, France, England and Ireland. Of course
he brings his accordion along for a good old fashioned sing-along!
