Pernille Sørensen Premieres New Show After Nytt på Nytt Exit
Pernille Sørensen has spent years establishing herself as one of Norway’s most prominent comedians. Her resume includes work on programs like Nytt på Nytt, Side om side, and Våre beste år, alongside a robust career as a stand-up artist. She recently concluded an eight-year run on Nytt på Nytt, a departure marked by colleagues with on-air jokes and a special surprise.
Currently, Sørensen is starring in the comedy show Finn tre feil. She created the production alongside colleagues Live Nelvik and Kristine Riis, with its premiere scheduled for September 3. According to Se og Hør, the collaborative project brings together three familiar faces from the Norwegian comedy scene.
Family Dynamics in Sørkedalen With Dagfinn Lyngbø
Away from the stage, Sørensen lives in Sørkedalen, Oslo, with fellow comedian and husband Dagfinn Lyngbø and their two teenage sons, Ludvik and Lasse. While Sørensen describes herself as disorganized and prone to losing track of her belongings, she credits Lyngbø with keeping their daily routine stable.
“Surr og kok! Så alle i familien har bedre oversikt over mine ting enn meg. Jeg legger fra meg telefonen, lommebok og nøkler overalt,” Sørensen told VG, adding that her husband serves as her anchor and prevents things from falling apart.
The fast growth of their sons has also shifted her perspective on time. To maximize moments with Ludvik and Lasse as they grow increasingly independent, Sørensen told VG that she makes a conscious effort to spend as much time as possible in the home’s shared spaces.
Coping With the Loss of Her Father
Beyond career milestones and family logistics, Sørensen opened up to VG about the lingering grief of losing her father, Petter. In 2013, her father died while out on a ski trip with a friend. The sudden loss left a permanent mark on the comedian.
«Det verste er nok at han er så ugjenkallelig borte. Jeg kan aldri snakke med ham igjen,» Sørensen told VG, adding that she often thinks of him when encountering things he loved, such as jazz music.
