A carpenter and general labourer to begin with, he took up performing as a sideline during the depression of the 1930s, riding a unicycle under the name Skånska Nisse.
He joined the Hippodromen theatre in Malmö in 1938 and first appeared at Malmö City Theatre in 1945, in a supporting part in a Karl Gerhard revue.
