Outside the theatre stage she played with the cabaret group Lompelandslaget from 1993 to 2001, where she also contributed as script writer. She toured with Kristopher Schau in Reidar Roses orkester in the mid 1990s. "We had no money, played on the street, and slept over with strangers", she said in an interview a decade later.

Skåber has participated in several TV series, among these are Sejer - se deg ikke tilbake (2000), Ca. Lykkelig (2000/2001), Nissene på låven (2001), Sushi (2001), Brødrene Dal og mysteriet om Karl XIIs gamasjer (2005) and Herte til hjerte (2007). The TV-series "Hjerte til hjerte" lead to wide media coverage, and Skåber became a popular guest star in Norwegian entertainment programs (16 guest appearances in eleven different programs during the first half part of 2007, more than anybody else in that period).

She has worked as script writer on several productions, both for her own performances and for others. • 2001: «Erotiske dikt: en diktsamling du bør ha under puten» (Erotic poems) (editor and contributor).
