The National Museum of Iceland Harpa Austurbakki 2 (D4) | Dec 13, 27, 28, 29, 30 | 19:00 | 4,200 ISK If you’re up for a good laugh and fun, this one-man comedy show might be your cup of tea. It’s a short introduction to Iceland’s history, the sagas, and offers a first hand account on Icelandic behaviour and manners (if there is such a thing in the first place). It deals with the struggles and attitude of the average Icelander, all the while mocking a plethora of other nationalities. In just a few lessons, you’ll learn how to pass off as an Icelander, or at least start your journey of Icelandichood, and there’s a certificate in it for those that like those sorts of things. No worries, though, the show is 100% in English. ER A Dash Of Icelandic Comedy How To Become Icelandic In 60 Minutes
