Norra Brunn, Comedy club and restaurant in Vasastan, Stockholm, Sweden.
Norra Brunn is a restaurant and comedy venue on Surbrunnsgatan in Stockholm, Sweden. The space has a dining area with tables and a stage where performances take place several evenings a week.
The venue opened as a tavern in 1903 and changed character over the decades. In the late 1980s, it became a key spot for stand-up comedy as the art form was taking its first steps in Sweden.
The venue's name comes from the Norra Brunn spring that gave Surbrunnsgatan its name, and the house has carried several names in the 20th century, among them Zum Alten Brunnen and Old Bowler. Since October 1989 it has hosted the Stand Up Comedy Klubben, and the TV programme Släng dig i brunnen was recorded here every year from 1990 to 1997.
Norra Brunn sits in the Vasastan neighborhood and is easy to reach by public transport. On popular evenings, booking a table ahead of time is a good idea.
Norra Brunn regularly runs courses where people learn to perform in front of an audience for the first time. Several well-known Swedish comedians took their first steps on this stage.
