TEAM VIKING / James Rowland
About the event
Team Viking tells the remarkable, hilarious and heart-lifting story of how I actually managed to give my best mate the send-off he wanted. Blending storytelling, music, comedy and even a genuine Viking helmet, it’s a comic ode to death, friendship and the beautiful absurdity of life.
The show premiered in a tiny meeting room at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe and became a breakthrough hit: critically acclaimed, completely sold out, and the beginning of my career as a contemporary storyteller. Since then it has toured hundreds of times across the UK and beyond.
Now, ten years on, this modern classic returns for a special anniversary edition - as funny, raw and joyous as ever.
Team Viking is brought to you by Salam & Holohan
★★★★★ The Stage “Joyous - heartlifting and incredibly moving.”

★★★★ Fest “Real grief, still raw; real heart, still healing… A reminder that life really is for the living.”
