Kristians 3´rd tv show went straight to number 1 and ended up as the highest rated comedy show in the country. (Third one in a row.) "I never set out to break any record or try to get high ratings. I always just follow my gut feeling and try to make a tv show that I personally would like to watch no matter what the rules say on what you can do and not on tv" Quote Kristian Valen)

Kristian does over 200 characters,voices and impressions of international celebs, politicians, artists and people. Here Steve Udenberg (From Universal Pictures "Terminator 2" was fixing Kristian to look like Arnold and one of Norways biggest country/rock singers in his second tv series.)

Kristians debut album was released on his own label in Norway after all major labels in Norway said there was "no way in hell he could sell music since the audience knew him as a comedian." The first single "Still here" was slaughtered by the critics, but went straight to number 1 were it stayed in the top 20 for as long as 7 months. When the album came it debuted on 3´rd place on the "most selling album" only beaten by Beyonce and U2. The album sold gold and platina.

Kristian was headhunted to be the only European artist to perform at the 1 year memorial for Michael Jackson by Michaels mother at the "Forever Michael" at The Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles.

Kristians first try at tv did not work well with the critics in Norway (as all of his work), but his show went straight to number 1 and became the highest rated show at TV-Norway. (This tv show still holds the record of most selling dvd´s in Norway)

Kristians 3´rd tv show was named "Valens breakfast show" and was filled with impersonations and characters from all over the world and became his 3´rd straight number 1 hit show.

Kristians 4´th stage show about the differences and alike´s of Norway and the rest of the world. Contains over 50 impersonations of world stars,celebs and artist + his own views on things in life the only way Kristian sees it.

Kristians second tv show also became the highest rated comedy tv show when it was aired. ("I knew we could never top the phenomena our first tv show became, so I tried to narrow the second show to more hardcore comedy fans. I knew the critics would hate this show too, but that was ok since I felt lucky to be able to live the dream + I never make anything to please anybody else but my self and my co workers." Quote: Kristian Valen)

"I love Africa and The West Indian Ocean and I always go there to relax,fish,hunt,live in the bush etc.... I love the out doors and now I know why it is called MOTHER AFRICA! Nothing compares to this beautiful continent!" (Kristian Valen)
