Iceland Unfiltered
Get ready for an unforgettable night hosted by Icelandair! Comedians and storytellers Ragnar Bragason and Bergur Ebbi are flying in from Reykjavík to reveal the quirky truths, cultural oddities, and hilariously strange realities of Iceland that no guidebook will tell you. This isn't stand-up. It's more like sitting across from two old friends who happen to have a country's worth of stories to tell.
Expect sharp observations, wildly unqualified advice, and plenty of roasting about what tourists get wrong...every single time. (Spoiler: You've definitely been pronouncing Reykjavík wrong.) Ragnar and Bergur share what it's really like to be Icelandic, from bizarre traditions to the tourist moments that leave locals scratching their heads.
As a special welcome, each guest will receive a complimentary Taste of Iceland Cocktail. As an added bonus, guests will also receive Blue Lagoon skincare gifts inspired by Iceland’s iconic geothermal spa. Adults only: 21+ with valid ID.
Bergur is an Icelandic comedian, public speaker, and writer of poetry, comedy, and social analysis. Originally a lawyer, he also holds a degree in futures studies, gives talks, and produces works on strategy and future thinking. His main themes are personal identity, technology, and the history of ideas, which he explores through different media.
In his performances, Bergur Ebbi delivers insightful stories about his native Iceland that reflect the nation's transformation from an isolated fishing and farming community to a developed society known for creativity. Bergur Ebbi shares stories from his own life and his ancestors that, like Iceland's identity, are an interesting mix of the mundane and the mythological.
Ragnar is a storyteller in every sense—on stage, on screen, and on the road. A graduate of the Iceland Academy of the Arts in Theater and Performance Studies, he splits his time between guiding travelers through Iceland's landscapes and bringing its stories to life.
Ragnar has written and performed with numerous theater companies, co-authored and acted in four radio plays for Icelandic National Radio, and serves as Playwright-in-Residence at the Reykjavík City Theatre. He premiered his solo show Old in 2018 and has appeared in several Icelandic films and TV series. His poetry book While was published in 2008. A frequent nominee and one-time winner of the Icelandic Theatre Awards, Ragnar lives a life full of stories and shares them with his beloved son and two daughters.
