Well done 60-minute 1-man show at Harpa in Reykjavik!! Light and tasteful humour mixed with some facts and learning about Iceland. Held our attention and gave us lots of laughs. I’d highly recommend it. Nice way to see a little of the Harpa as well. It’s on a small theatre room, seats really angled on an incline so you can see no matter who is in front of you. Even though Harpa is a classy place, you will be totally comfortable in your jeans or hiking pants or runners for this performance.
