Dec 6: Ari Eldjárn: Pardon My Icelandic

Those with Netflix can check out a show by Ari Eldjárn, called Pardon My Icelandic.

Ari is a stand-up comedian. You can watch his show here.

There are jokes about the Icelandic national anthem, Iceland beating England at football, Icelandic crime shows on BBC Four and about Iceland’s rivalry with Denmark. The latter routine smooths the show’s passage towards Scandi humour more widely, as Eldjárn jokes about the Faroes, the Finns, and the insufficiently Nordic character of Marvel’s Thor movies.

Thanks to Ben Hennig for the recommendation.
