Four Weeks
The Grapevine picks the events, places and things to check out in the next five weeks.
Every Monday and Wednesday
Stand-up comedy in English
Every Monday, a group of comedians called the
GoldenGang get together and perform a comedy
set in English for expats and locals alike. Then on
Wednesdays there are improv nights, and a story night
at the end of the month—admission is free!

Pink Street Boys
Pink Street Boys are here to slay with their tough
garage rock ’n’ roll. They don’t really care what people
think about them, giving Facebook fans the middle
finger in their profile picture. All metal headbangers
are advised to make their way over to Dillon and see if
these guys are really as badass as we say they are.

Each Monday
Monday Life Drawing Session
Flex your drawing muscles at Listastofan’s weekly
Life Drawing sessions. There will be a professional
nude model at the session. Light refreshments and
good vibes will be provided, but please bring your
own sketch-pad, drawing tools and wild imagination.
Admission: 1,500 ISK
Listastofan, Hringbraut 119 at 18:00
Each Sunday
Live Jazz at Bryggjan Brugghús
Reykjavík is slowly but surely becoming the city of
jazz and there is nothing quite like a Sunday evening
of cocktails, dinner and live music. We recommend
Bryggjan Brugghús because not only do you get to
enjoy their wonderful jazz band, you get to do it while
drinking some tasty locally made beer!

Auður DJ set
Just in from MUSEXPO in LA, the ever so fabulous
Auður takes us all the way to South America. With his
hit bangers, smooth moves and soothing voice, he’ll
keep the crowd jumping. Rumour has it, he'll give us a
sneak-peak of his new stuff, you don't want to miss it.
Admission is free!

COMEDY
Improv Iceland
The Best Antidepressant
Húrra, Naustin (D3) | 2,000 ISK
Joy to the world, Improv Iceland will now
be held in English! The renowned improv
theater company started in 2015 and has
performed in various places, including the
DCM festival in NYC. The group, consisting
of Iceland’s funniest actors and actresses,
comes together for a night of unscripted
dialogues, spontaneous musicals and im-
provised acts, making each and every show
a premiere AND a final performance. Pre-
vious events have been extremely popu-
lar among Icelanders, with weekly shows
perpetually sold-out. Therefore it was only
a matter of time until the group made the
performance available to all with fortnight-
ly shows starting May 10, much to our hap-
piness. This is an event not to be missed and
the best way to turn your Tuesday into an
amuseday. HBG

COMEDY
Icetralia
66° North Down Under
Café Rosenberg, Klapparstígur 25-27 (E5) | 2,000 ISK
Icelandic comic and cartoonist Hugleikur
Dagsson has teamed up with Aussie ex-pat
Jono Duffy to put together this recurring
comedy event in Café Rosenberg. Their com-
edy, as they promise, is like themselves: the
former "filthy and friendly," the latter "gay,
Australian, and a bit desperate." Obscenities
and musical numbers are certain. Food and
drink are on offer. All jokes in the lowest
common linguistic denominator—English,
that is. Bring your own guffaws. EP
