About English Standup Oslo
Hygge is a 60-minute stand-up show from English Standup Oslo, a professional company, performed entirely in English by Scandinavian comedians at Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2025. The premise is deceptively simple: a group of professional Scandinavian comedians explore the concept of hygge through Nordic-designed minimalist jokes. They cannot quite explain what hygge means themselves — and that honest uncertainty shapes the hour. Expect deadpan restraint and a self-aware, low-key energy. Tickets are £8 and the show is suitable for ages 16 and above.
Why see this show?
A quietly confident comedy hour from Scandinavian professionals who lean into understatement rather than spectacle. If you like your stand-up dry, minimal and gently self-deprecating, this is a rewarding 60 minutes.
