Comedians born in Akureyri
Iceland 馃嚠馃嚫
Akureyri is the largest town in northern Iceland, often called the Capital of the North. It sits at the head of the long Eyjafj枚r冒ur fjord beneath snow-capped peaks, and serves as a hub for fishing, education and tourism.
The town is known for its botanical garden, its colourful houses and a mild microclimate, and despite its small size it sustains an active cultural life. Touring stand-up makes its way north to local venues from time to time. The cartoonist and comedian 脼贸rarinn Hugleikur Dagsson comes from Akureyri.
