One of my main reasons for going to Oslo, at least that weekend, was to go to a comedy show at Edderkoppen Teater.
These guys make me laugh and they teach me new words and expressions - what's not to like? It was an hour and a half of pure joy. The guy next to me almost couldn't handle his joy. I wondered if I was going to have to resucitate him at one point the way he was gasping for breath.

Pictures from the actual show that I stole from someone else because we weren't supposed to take pictures:
In an extreme effort to avoid my Icelandic homework - ahem - I've subtitled a video of one of their older sketches (below). It didn't take me that long, and I've paraphrased a bit in some places. This is perhaps their best known sketch, where they attempt to take us through the history of the world in five minutes, paying special attention to Norway of course. Enjoy!
For some reason, near the end, my subtitles start lagging behind a bit. Hope it doesn't ruin it.
