Ole Soo Valland is a Norwegian stand-up comedian, screenwriter, and director born in 1982. He grew up in Alversund, near Bergen, and trained and worked as a nurse, including service in the Royal Norwegian Navy's medical corps and participation in a Mediterranean refugee rescue mission, before eventually leaving nursing to work full time in comedy. Valland began performing stand-up in Bergen in 2010 and was quickly recognized as a rising talent, appearing that same year at the Skjemtegauk festival, the Stand Up Festival in Oslo, and the Norwegian Humor Festival, and winning the P4 radio talent competition Komidol. He went on to become a regular performer at the Latter comedy club, first in Bergen and later in Oslo. Alongside his own stand-up, Soo built a parallel career as a comedy writer and director, writing for fellow comedians Johan Golden and Marit Voldsaeter (including her show Null i biologi) and contributing to Stian Blipp Show, while directing solo stand-up shows for comedians including Christoffer Schjelderup, Sturla Berg-Johansen, and รrjan Burรธe. He is recognized in the Norwegian comedy scene both for his own stand-up performances and for shaping the material of other prominent comedians, making him one of the more versatile figures to emerge from Bergen's comedy circuit.
