'Viggo is Norwegian' (The Scotsman)

A total sell out at Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2022, Viggo brings his show for ONE NIGHT ONLY to Manchester's finest XS Malarkey!

Viggo will tell the single best Norwegian joke there is*. He will also be attempting to tell a British joke. Please God help us all...

*only a few Norwegian jokes actually exist. Most of them are not funny, but this one is really good. GET READY!

★★★★ “My cheeks were aching from laughter” Fringe Guru

★★★★1/2 “I laughed so much my face hurt” The Latest

“Most importantly... Norwegian” Broadway Baby

************************************************************

One of the best-reviewed and most in-demand debut shows of Edinburgh Fringe 2022: an absurd homage to migration, in which a hungry Eastern European clown voyages to America for a hot dog.

'Choosh', by the way, means 'bullshit' - of all kinds.

Dramaturg: Annie Siddons, Sound Design: Jonny Woolley
