After a near-death experience in 1986, fighting count Dracula, Bent started his fabulous acting career with London Toast Theater. He appeared in no less than 21 Crazy Christmas Cabarets. TV appearances include Hopla, Aha, Hooray&Boo and TV avisen. He established "Hyggeligans United" and his own touring band "Gammel Dansk" (best known for his rap hit "Hello I must be going!").
