Today on RÚV English Radio, the record-breaking Harpa hit that reveals the secrets of being Icelandic.

Bjarni Þórsson is the writer, creator, and one of the performers of How To Become Icelandic In 60 Minutes (https://www.harpa.is/en/how-to-become-icelandic-in-60-minutes), a show teaching you everything you need to know about becoming Icelandic, in just one hour. More than a stand-up routine, it is a blend of observations of the Icelandic human condition, their attitudes, struggles and everyday life!

The long running hit show has also just broken a very special record in Icelandic theatre.

Darren met Bjarni at Harpa, where the show is performed, to hear more.
