Biography
David Batra built a comedy empire across Scandinavia and beyond, proving Swedish stand-up could scale beyond the club circuit. Born 29 November 1972 in Lund to an Indian father and Swedish mother, he launched his stand-up career in 1994 and quickly moved into TV writing and acting, landing leading roles in comedy series on Swedish national television. His work has reached audiences in Denmark, Finland, Norway, Russia, Spain, and the USA, plus guest spots on BBC and CNBC. In 2009, he released a novelty music CD of "irritating and annoying sounds"—snores, burps, sex noises—designed to annoy neighbors, a concept that captures his absurdist sensibility. That same year he debuted on TV4's Parlamentet and performed in the comedy program Cirkus Möller during 2009–2010. In 2012, Batra replaced Norwegian comedian Calle Hellevang-Larsen as sidekick on the talk show I kveld med YLVIS, a high-profile Scandinavian platform. He has authored four humor books and a cookbook, and since 2017 has served as a jury member on the television talent program Talang. He is married to Swedish politician Anna Kinberg Batra, former leader of the Moderate Party. As a screenwriter and actor, Batra combines performance with written work across comedy, entertainment, and culinary formats. Life Path 5 runs through his career: restlessness, experimentation, and constant reinvention across media and geography. Sagittarius born, he chases horizons—geographically (performing across continents) and creatively (music CDs, cookbooks, jury roles).
