Early life

Skäringer wanted to be an actress from the age of four and became active at her local theater in Kristinehamn. Skäringer describes herself as a "small girl, quite heavy and a tom-boy" when she was younger. She related in interviews that she suffered from an eating disorder from the eighth grade until her last year in college.[4]

Solsidan success

During early 2009, Skäringer starred in the hit television show Solsidan along with Felix Herngren, Johan Rheborg and Josephine Bornebusch. Skäringer stated that she and Herngren had never met before "but found each other from the start and co-operated like a team which doesn't happen very often in comedy".[4] The first episode of Solsidan was watched by 1.8 million viewers and was broadcast by TV4 making it the most-watched programme of the day in Sweden. And in March 2010 a second season was announced, which premiered in January 2011. Many other known names in comedy asked to be in it after the success of the first season.
