Pétur Ben
Singer-songwriter Pétur Ben may have toyed
around with numerous outfits at this point, acting
as a mentor for several new local talents, but at
heart he's still an indie boy who sings in that sweet
Icelandic accent that everyone loves. Expect plenty
of new material. Admission: 1,500 ISK.

Open mic stand up comedy in English
Every Monday, a group of comedians get together
and perform a free comedy set in English for expats
and locals alike. At this point the group seems to
have gotten through their earlier teething issues, so
come prepared for a barrel of laughs. Admission is
