Sparkle 

Multidisciplinary comedian/poet/designer Sindri "Sparkle" Freyr is the token Icelander of this group. Worry not, they still further the theme of the show by sticking out like a sore thumb in most social situations since they are a two meter tall trans woman. They have mostly made a name for themselves in the English speaking drag and comedy scenes of downtown Reykjavík though their biggest claim to fame has to be appearing fully naked on TV for 10 million people. Among other places they have performed in Þjóðleikhúsið, Iðnó, NASA, all of the queer friendly bars downtown as well as having a show currently running in Tjarnarbíó.
