Berg-Johansen grew up in Tønsberg where he started his acting at Tønsberg Amateur Theater. He worked at a traveling agency at the end of the 1980s, and he was, among other things, in charge of entertainment for tourists who traveled between Mallorca and Tenerife. In 1989, he toured in Norway with his own air guitar show, but he first got his break-through with his imitations of Leif Juster under Dan Børge Akerø's revue competition on TV 2 in 1992. After that he had several guest appearances on Norwegian television, as well as one-man shows in restaurants, bars, theaters and for business-firms. He often had minor acting jobs in Tønsberg.
Besides his several stand-up shows, Berg-Johansen was the host of a children's TV breakfast show on TV 2 and for the entertainment shows Tre Fluer and Pictonary on TV Norge.
