Björn studied at the Calle Flygares Theater School in Stockholm to become an actor.[1] He has among other things been in the Swedish movie Beck - Flickan i jordkällaren. But before the debut at the movie, he also had a debut in Swedish stand-up. He started at the club Bungy Comedy in 2005, a club for stand-up beginners. In 2006 he went for education at Standup Star, a great stand-up school, that among others, Özz Nûjen and Jakob Öqvist, two of the most well-known comedians in Sweden.[1]
As of 2008, his most notable appearance was in Melodifestivalen 2008, the Swedish selections for the Eurovision Song Contest. For example, he sang a song to Kristian Luuk's (the host) girlfriend Carina Berg. In his song he explained his love to her. Afterward, Berg said that she had to hide her cheeks so people couldn't see that she was blushing.
Gustafsson gained a certain degree of international fame following a World of Warcraft (WoW) joke in Parlamentet, blaming other people for wasting too much time on it, escaping their normal lives, yet using so much internal WoW terminology himself that he was incomprehensible to normal people. The scene was spread over the Internet, mainly on YouTube, where translations into other languages could also be found.
In 2008, Björn received big media attention by great efforts in Parlamentet and as a entertainment in the breaks to Melodifestivalens and he also got voted as the Sweden's funniest man by Aftonbladet's readers on 6 March 2008. He also read the Swedish votes at the Eurovision Song Contest 2008. He continued his "stand-up" shows at the big stage, in the Guldbaggegalan 2009 together with Johan Glans, and with Robert Gustafsson in the Svenska idrottsgalan 2009 (Swedish athletics awards). He was also named the nominated rookie of the year by the Swedish athletics.
