Komediateatret
Komediateatret was established in Bergen in 1933 by Lars Nygard. He engaged Amund Rydland (1888-1967) as artistic director. The theatre based its enterprise on a popular repertoire with popular comedy as the dominating genre. The theatre was active until 1964. It shut down after rental costs became too high for the company to be economically viable.
Komediateatret was re-established/revived in 1995 by Frode Rasmussen, under the name Bergen Komedia Teater, but owing to economical difficulties the company was dissolved again the same year.
