Bee Babylon – Eyjafjallajökull – There and Back Again is a comedy show by Icelandic comedian Bee Babylon, presented by Bylgja Babýlons and The Stand Comedy Club at Stand 4. The show explores a curious episode in Icelandic history: in 1810, Scottish Lord Sir George Steuart Mackenzie ventured to Iceland with companions, seeking adventure but encountering only scurvy. Bee uses this awkward chapter — set between Viking glory and economic collapse, when the Danes were causing trouble and old shoes ended up as dinner — as a springboard for a witty, history-meets-humour journey.
Why see this show?
A smart blend of history and stand-up from an Icelandic comedian, this show finds the comic absurdity in an era most audiences will never have heard of — funny, eye-opening, and genuinely original material.
