Host intro
Good evening ReykjavÃk — I’m Eggert Smári, your host for the mischief and mayhem at Kabarett on Bankastrætti 5. This is the place where nervous first-timers meet seasoned troublemakers, where new jokes get born and old jokes learn to behave. Grab some of Kabarett’s amazing food, order a draft, and brace yourselves — tonight could be the night you discover Iceland’s next big comic… or at least get a good story to tell. Sign-ups are open now. Give our brave—possibly deluded—performers your love and your laughs.
