Elva Dögg Hafberg

Madame Tourette, also known as Elva Dögg Hafberg Gunnarsdóttir, has been involved in stand-up comedy since 2010 and is known for her sharp humor, sincerity, and entertaining perspectives on various topics. Elva has Tourette Syndrome and discusses it in her stand-up, alongside other subjects.

In 2018, Elva Dögg co-founded the stand-up show My Voices Have Tourettes, which ran for five years. The show featured performers who all dealt with disorders, mental health issues, or were on the autism spectrum. The show was performed in English and was also staged in Finland and Sweden, where it won numerous awards.

In the summer of 2022, Elva premiered her first solo show, Madame Tourette, at the Reykjavik Arts Festival. That fall, she performed the show at Tjarnarbíó to rave reviews. In the fall of 2023, her show was also staged at the National Theatre basement, where the reception was equally positive.

Over the years, Elva has performed at various events, including annual parties, celebrations, conferences, team-building days, birthdays, and many more.
