From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Anders Bircow, (b. December 15, 1951) is a Danish entertainer. Anders Bircow was born in the town of Helsinge, and attended schools in Nærum, Ramløse and Helsinge. He received an education as a bank worker in Gentofte, and later worked as a school teacher in Vorgod in Herning.
Bircow played guitar and bass in a band called Cokes from the age of 13 until adulthood. He joined Skuespillerskolen (Drama school) at the Århus city’s local theatre. In 1979 he formed the comedy group Linie 3 along with Preben Kristensen, with whom he had previously had the four-man group Barbershop Harmony, and Thomas Eje. Linie 3 premiered their first TV show in 1980.
In 2001 Linie 3 appeared in a millennium show called Rundrejsen 2001, that was seen by more than 300,000 people. Since then Bircow has appeared in his own one-man-show, however the show was panned by critics and did not receive the same commercial success as the Linie 3 shows.
