What Petrina laughs most about, and with, is – her mother.

– I really like her humour. Mum takes people down in a very funny way. I think I've inherited her tough style.

During the corona epidemic her big tour, ”Nu är jag här” (Here I am) has been put on hold.

”If they don't enjoy it, I just have to work harder”
Petrina Solange

– A pity, but, what the hell, I'm not the only one who's had to cancel.

Your language is quite rough – don't you have any limits?

”I just want them to laugh”
Petrina Solange

– Well, people either enjoy it or they don't. If they don't enjoy it, I just have to work harder.

– People don't have to agree with me, nod and say, ”Well said”. I just want them to laugh.
