Pernille Haaland - Nordic AF
Award winning comedian Pernille Haaland (HBO Max, Netflix, Discovery, NRK, TV2) returns with a brand-new hour of stand-up — cool, cutting, and unapologetically Nordic.
From the surreal experience of performing stand-up for NATO to navigating life as a single woman fully armed with reproductive rights, Pernille Haaland finds herself at war — not with tanks or weapons, but with a political landscape that threatens every single lady who dares to be more than a womb.
With icy precision she chips away at the status quo, dissecting hypocrisy and the freedom of refusing to settle for anyone who can’t handle your thermal underwear…
Smart, fearless, and glacially composed, Time Out calls her “Hilarious” — and audiences around the world agree.
As the world heats up, the best response is to keep a very cool head.
