This evening presentation in one of the more intimate venues in Harpa was full of humor and great acting by the 2 person troupe. They presented Icelandic history in the most memorable and comedy filled light. The 2 actors employed willing audience participants in a few of the retold sagas, to fill in the missing characters. Some parts of skits were a little bawdy, but not overly so. All the language was appropriate, and I completely endorse this presentation of The Great Icelandic Sagas! It kept the audience laughing beginning to end.
4. How to Become Icelandic in 60 Minutes
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 120 reviews
How To Become Icelandic In 60 Minutes teaches you everything you need to know about being icelandic in just one hour. You walk out of the theatre 100% Icelandic. The show is much more than a stand up comedy. It is a hillarious, incisive and visual observation of the icelandic human condition, their attitudes, struggles and every day life.

If you’re not planning to do a Northern Lights tour on you very first night in Iceland then I recommend booking this show at Harpa asap. While every tour guide will go through the history of Iceland with you - this show covers the whole spectrum and does it in a funny way. The one-man show playfully makes fun and use of the stereotypes of many nationalities (mostly in the EU) relative to the Icelandic culture so I felt like I learned about other countries too. I thought the Americans would get it bad but the US got away barely scathed. Also, i feel like if i had seen the show earlier, i would have immediately made room to ride an Icelandic horse during my week there. you Show costs about $45 US at Harpa. We just walked in to Harpa and bought tickets 15 mins prior to showtime. We went on a Thursday night at 7p. A good healthy crowd. There is cussing, so not really suitable for the kiddies. Funny and endearing.
