Niels Hausgaard

Niels Samuel Hausgaard (born 31 August 1944) is a Danish singer, songwriter and comedian. He is best known for his songs and understated comedy which often combine dry observations on the human condition with the trials and tribulations of life in a welfare state. Originally, Hausgaard spoke with a distinct dialect in his shows, vendelbomål, which has become something of a trademark during his sets, but in recent years it has been somewhat toned down. Originally from Hirtshals, he now lives in Hundelev. Both towns are situated in Vendsyssel, Region Nordjylland, Denmark.
