History of the Faroe Islands (Please Don't Laugh)

Oplev den færøske komiker David Valley levere sit engelsksprogede standup-show History of the Faroe Islands (Please Don't Laugh) live på Nordatlantens Brygge

Lørdag 24. januar 2026 kl. 21.00

Har du nogensinde undret dig over Færøernes historie? Nej? Nå, det var da ærgerligt. Du kommer til at høre om den alligevel.

Dette er en dybt seriøs udforskning af den færøske fortid – uden nogen form for jokes – bare masser af fakta, som du aldrig har bedt om og sikkert glemmer med det samme bagefter (og det er helt i orden).

For én gangs skyld prøver vi som nation at blive taget alvorligt, og dette show er en del af den indsats. Forvent en detaljeret, 100 % akademisk analyse baseret på historiske kilder og moderne forskning. Emnerne spænder fra vikingetiden til nyere begivenheder. Bare rolig – det er endnu mere kedeligt, end det lyder.

Så læn dig tilbage, slap af, og forbered dig på at lære alt om næsten ingenting. Det er historie, det er kultur, og egentlig prøver jeg bare at oplyse folk om mit land – så vær sød ikke at grine. Vi får ikke ofte chancen for at være med til sådan noget.

History of the Faroe Islands (Please Don't Laugh) – Live in Copenhagen!

Have you ever wondered about the history of the Faroe Islands? No? Well, that's a shame. You're going to hear about it anyway.

Faroese comedian David Valley takes you on a deeply serious journey through the history, culture, and personal stories of one of the smallest and most overlooked nations in the world. This is not comedy. This is a 100% academic exploration of the Faroese past, featuring no jokes whatsoever, only important facts you never asked for and will definitely forget right after the show (and that's perfectly fine).

After selling out twice at the 2025 Reykjavík Fringe Festival and performing across Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Estonia, the show now arrives in Copenhagen. It is a bold move for a nation still recovering from centuries of Danish supervision.

Expect a detailed, thoroughly researched presentation covering everything from Viking history to modern Faroese identity, all delivered with the straight-faced sincerity of a man who just wants his country to be taken seriously for once.
Don't worry, it's more boring than it sounds.

So sit back, relax, and prepare to learn everything about almost nothing.
It is history, it is culture, and it is one man's desperate attempt to make you understand the Faroe Islands. Please, whatever you do, don't laugh.
