Musical comedy in broken english (Sjur Hjeltnes)
If Victor Borge and Bill Bailey had a lovechild. Norwegian pianist and comedian Sjur Hjeltnes brings his unique blend of musical comedy to the historic medieval cellar of Dyvekes Vinkjeller, just two minutes from Bryggen. Before bringing the show to the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2026, Sjur presents a series of performances in Bergen, combining virtuoso piano playing, absurd humour and broken English in a show unlike anything else in town. A perfect start to your evening in Bergen. This show is a celebration of useless and delicious things such as art, music and cake. Things that have no practical application whatsoever. Not sensible, smart and efficient things, but things that are pleasurable in the moment and then gone, like a symphony or a piece of chocolate. Join Sjur Hjeltnes as he tries to explain the meaning of life in broken English, strolling with the sun in his back and a glass in his hand. Taking you on a musical exploration of pleasure and happiness, completely contrary to the Norwegian Health Board recommendations. Duration : Approximately 60 minutes Language : English About Dyvekes: Dyvekes Vinkjeller is one of Bergen's most atmospheric venues, tucked away at Hollendergaten 7, just a block from the Bryggen waterfront and the Fish Market. The show is downstairs - reached by a narrow staircase - in an old stone wine cellar with a history reportedly stretching back to the 1300s or 1400s. The room is full of charm and atmosphere, with low ceilings covered in original wood beams, thick stone walls, and the low light of candlelight giving it a genuinely medieval feel. It's often described as the oldest remaining pub in Bergen, and is a vibrant spot for concerts, alongside a good beer and wine list.
