"Gula Hund" (English title: "Yellow Dog") is a Swedish variety show that had it's première the 5 July 1964 on Chinateatern in Stockholm. It was written by Hans Alfredsson and Tage Danielsson and directed by Tage. Both of the writers starred in various roles.It was the second of "three dog-revues" (so called because they all have "dog" in their name).

The show also starred Monica Zetterlund, Birgitta Andersson, Lissi Alandh, Sonya Hedenbratt, Gösta Ekman, Mille Schmidt, Stefan Böhm, Arild Eriksen, Gals and Pals and Gunnar Svenssons kvartett.

The show was built up by sketches and songs, often with satirical humour. Among the more famous sketches are "Flykten från Ålderdomshemmet" (The escape from the Old Folks Home) in wich Hans Alfredsson played a senile old man, the "Pitt" number, where Birgitta Andersson took her husband, played by Gösta Ekman, to the doctor because he couldn't stop saying the word pitt (swedish slang for penis) and the "Mahatma Ekman" number, in wich Gösta Ekman portrayed a kind of guru who claimed that we "have to be friends with the things" only to have every object on stage work against him in a slapstick number.
