Ari Eldjárn
Comedy star Ari Eldjárn returns to Denmark with his new show The Icelanders' Guide to Europe, which you can experience on October 25th at the Old Stage (Gamle Scene) of the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen.
Iceland's biggest comedian invites the audience on a hilarious journey through European habits, razor-sharp imitations, and cultural contrasts that we can all recognize—and laugh at.
“An immediately smart guide… filtered through personal tales and relatable observational humour” - Scotsman
Ari Eldjárn was born and raised in Reykjavík and has established himself as Iceland's undisputed greatest comedian, with a career that today extends far beyond the borders of the Nordic countries. With several successful TV specials, an international Netflix release, and appearances on the British hit program Mock the Week, he has solidified his position as one of the strongest names on the European comedy scene. Additionally, he has sold out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe, Soho Theatre in London, and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
“A smart, savvy comedian with a hugely assured set” - Chortle
His humor often takes its starting point in the common European experience—our languages, quirks, and social codes—which he dissects with precision and a twinkle in his eye. On stage, Ari is an energetic storyteller who effortlessly leaps between precise character imitations, theatrical moments, and vivid everyday stories. The audience is not just entertained but involved when Ari is on stage.
