There’s nothing quite like a Liverpool night out that starts with a proper laugh. On 23 October, the city’s comedy crowd gets a rare treat: GREIPUR HJALTASON – THE ICEBREAKER UK TOUR is pulling in to Hot Water Comedy Club on Blackstock Street. If your only link to Iceland is prawn rings on a Friday tea, prepare to expand your horizon.
What’s It About?
Greipur Hjaltason is an Icelandic stand-up who’s made a name for himself with his sharp, original humour. Expect a mix of that dry Nordic wit, surreal stories, and an outsider’s view of British life that goes down a storm in any comedy room. It’s his ‘Icebreaker UK Tour’, and Liverpool is on the map. If you fancy comedy that’s a bit different from the usual, this will put a grin on your face even if you’ve come in straight after work.
When Is It On?
This one’s a single night: Thursday 23 October 2026. Doors open at 6:30pm, so there’s time to grab a bevvy, swap your Icelandic phrases (all two of them), and settle in before things get going.
Where Is It?
The gig’s at Hot Water Comedy Club, 17 Blackstock Street, Liverpool, L3 6ER – inside Blackstock Market, just a few minutes from the city centre. It’s easy to find, even if the last time you were here was for a Fab Four tribute.
Tickets
Tickets are from £35. To book your seat, head straight to the official Hot Water Comedy Club event page. No faffing about with third-party sites.
