About Magnus Martensson:

In 2003, Swedish born conductor Magnus Martensson turned into a comedian/pianist during a concert at Victor Borge Hall in New York City, in front of an enthusiastic and encouraging audience that included members of Mr. Borge’s family. Since then, Mr. Martensson has appeared in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago, Washington DC, Minneapolis, and Arthur, and critics have called him “hilarious and clever” and “an outstanding pianist.” 
In 2008, his performance at the United Nations made the Honorable Ban Ki-moon titter.

Magnus Martensson was a conductor, until receiving encouraging words from the daughter of late comedian/pianist Victor Borge. He then decided to be funny again and has since been performing his comedy routine, combining it with multi instrumental musical performances.

In 2007, Martensson published the book Thoughts, Verse, and Further Nonsense, and recorded a CD with music and comedy. The short film “The Maestro” was premiered in New York in 2009.
His 2009-2010 North American tour "Excuse me, does my piano count as one carry-on?" will start on September 18th in Minnesota and visit 70 cities.
