A TV job that Jan Rippe would perhaps prefer to forget was his scandal-ridden participation in Bingolotto’s sit-down evening in 2001. As the character Kenneth Ålborg, he stepped into the program and botanized among the Christmas booze in a sketch that did not go down well with the viewers.
– I immediately felt that this did not land well at all, either in the studio with an audience or on television, but it was too late. It was just to do what had to be done and go home, he said P4 West and continued further:
– When I got home just before twelve o’clock on the night of Christmas Eve, the wife was standing on the stairs with the telephone receiver and shouted: It’s the complaint wall, it’s down! You are hated. Kenneth Ålborg what have you done? You can’t joke about booze on Christmas Eve.
Was Jan Rippe in Galenskaparna and After Shave?
Together with Knut Agnred, Per Fritzell and Peter Rangmar entered Jan Rippe in a singing competition while they were studying at Chalmers in the 1970s. The quartet won the singing competition and the barbershop group After Shave had been formed.
– From that day on, studies were doomed. I had already discovered that I was not interested in electrical engineering, I went to Chalmers with anxiety and thought about what I should do instead, Rippe has previously told Aftonbladet.

Soon the group’s paths crossed with the comedy group Galenskaparnas, consisting of Claes and Anders Eriksson and Kerstin Granlund.
– I knew Anders from before, he hung out with my old swimming friends from Mariestad. Anders came to our parties and he also performed at some Chalmersfests as a lone troubadour. Then the idea was born that we in After Shave could do something with him, Rippe has recounted for The evening paper.
Together, After Shave and Galenskaparna have done several stage performances.

Then I sit there, outside the boat shed, and then you have to run in when customers come. It’s full speed all summer, it’s great fun.
