Ari Eldjárn and his new show Return of the Icelandic are pan-melting fun.
Born and raised in Reykjavík, Ari’s take on everyday life in Iceland is both incredibly insightful and absolutely hysterical. Ari’s musical talents shine through in the show; his former hip-hop DJ life coming to the surface for his hilarious impressions of music in today’s modern world.
The comedy element of the show covers everything from the realities of parenting, dealing with sleep apnea and his country’s shared hatred of the weatherman. Whether he’s involved with the mob, or on a royal visit to Sweden, you will be hanging onto every word listening to his extremely interesting everyday life.
If finding out about the fascinating details of Iceland’s vaccination drive doesn’t do it for you, come to the show to hear about the time he stared at an active volcano – just because he could. Ari Eldjárn is a comedic genius and his show Return of the Icelandic is a must-see.
