Icelandic comic Ari Eldjárn announces first UK tour
Visiting six cities in April
Icelandic stand-up Ari Eldjárn has announced his first UK tour.
The comic will play a short run of dates in April with his show Return Of The Icelandic, starting with a five-night run at London’s Soho Theatre.
He then visits Brighton, Birmingham, Liverpool, Edinburgh and Bristol.
The grandson of Iceland’s former president Kristján Eldjárn, the comic became his homeland’s first Netflix star when his special Pardon My Icelandic was released on the platform in 2020. It covered subjects including fatherhood, working as a flight attendant and living in a country with a population the size of Coventry.
The new show revisits some of those topics, as well as his fame in Iceland – where he’s had run-ins with the tabloids – and navigating a new relationship.
His British radio and TV credits include Mock The Week and Radio 4’s Welcome To Wherever You Are.
The UK dates follow Eldjárn’s European tour, which is set to visit cities such as Oslo, Copenhagen, and Stockholm.
