Icelandic comedian Ari Eldjárn will be premiering his new english standup show “Eagle Fire Iron” at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. To warm up for the Edinburgh run Ari will be performing two preview shows in Reykjavík at Tjarnarbíó: one on the 20th of July (Saturday) and one on Thursday the 25th (Thursday).

Ari’s previous Fringe show “Pardon My Icelandic” was a critical success and sold out its entire 50 show run in Scotland, England and Australia, so these two preview shows are a unique opportunity to see Iceland’s premier comedian on home turf, in his second language.

“You don’t see too many jokes about the Faroese language being cracked on Live At The Apollo… but Eldjarn is good enough to make you think that one day, you will.” **** Chortle, Steve Bennet

“This is comedy gold that’s definitely not lost in translation.” **** Arts Hub, Patricia Maunder
