Hugleikur Dagsson is an Islandic Artist best known for his cartoons. More than 100.000 people follow him and his cute yet brutal (-ly honest) cartoons on facebook. I am one of those people and when I saw that he will spend a few weeks in Berlin I thought it would be a great opportunity to get him on the podcast. And it was such a pleasure to meet him, Hugleikur is such a gentle and funny man that ideed „can get away with almost everything“. That’s at least what a friend told him, when he encouraged him to start doing stand-up comedy, which is now one of his favorite things to do. So he is a cartoon artist, comedian and also writer and director and has his own animated TV-show.
