Icelandic comedians Lovísa Lára and Mekkin Roff join forces to bring you an uproarious hour of standup comedy. No punches are pulled and no punchlines are missed as these two manic pixie nightmares take the stage to talk life, love, and the pursuit of Enrique Iglesias.

Featuring a potent combination of Lovísa’s ditsy charm and Mekkin’s acerbic wit, these two friends and favourites of the Icelandic comedy scene feed off each other’s energy, creating a dynamic and uproarious atmosphere that is guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire show.


News and Reviews for this Show

August 28, 2024  Squirrel Comedy
3.5 stars
This is two 30ish minute sets from Icelandic comics Louisa Lara and Mekkin Roff, which takes place in a small basement room (about 20 seats – get there early for the comfy benches along the wall rather that the hideous wooden benches on the floor). Both comics have changed their appearance drastically since the flyers were printed.

Lousia was first, talking about living in Iceland and being shocked at the smallness of her home country when visiting other countries (apparently it has a population smaller than the NYPD). She also spoke of her recent divorce and having to start using dating apps.

Mekkin moved from Iceland to the USA when young, and talks about the cultural differences, living in London with friends and the joys of having a boyfriend. Tonight, it appeared most of Mekkin’s family was in the audience, which made her stories about her dad doing a runner from a restaurant and Grandad’s interesting style of racism extra funny.

This was a fun entertaining hour of stand-up from two confident women, and it deserves a larger audience. Hopefully they will get some extra exposure during the Fringe. Highly recommended. Click Here
