Greipur Hjaltason — Iceland’s Comedian of the Year 2020 (yes, the competition wasn’t exactly fierce up north 😏) — has rapidly become one of the most recognisable voices in European stand-up comedy. Now, for the very first time, he’s taking his unique brand of humour on tour across the UK , ready to meet the people who helped propel him to international fame.
With over 2 million followers on Instagram, more than 800,000 fans on TikTok, and 1+ billion views, Greipur has taken the internet by storm. His rise began with viral videos featuring his razor-sharp wit, perfectly deadpan delivery, and brutally honest observations on parenting, relationships, and life on a tiny island full of volcanoes, glaciers, and questionable weather choices.
Online he’s known simply as @greipjokes — a comic voice that travels far beyond Iceland. His material leaps from everyday quirks to cultural weirdness, with a twist of Icelandic charm. One moment he’s lecturing about elves, the next he’s dismantling Nordic stoicism — and audiences everywhere crack.
Fresh off his digital domination and a guest spot on the award-winning Comedy Roundtable podcast, Greipur now steps off the screen and onto real stages across the UK. Expect sharp storytelling, sneaky sarcasm, and a mischievously charming presence that’s even better in person.
From volcanoes and glaciers… to audiences across the UK.
Greipur Hjaltason — live, unfiltered, and funnier than ever.
