Her solo show premiered in August 2023 and she has spread the laughter onto stages in Brussels, Luxembourg, Geneva, The Netherlands and New Zealand.

It's going to sound strange, but I really liked the tone of her voice. She is a great storyteller and I was interested as well as finding the show funny. She has an endearing and confident presence on stage.

Didn't know much about the comedian before the show but now I'm a fan! Funny, insightful and universal. Relatable for contemporary women, whether or not from Eastern Europe. Highly recommend!

5/5 definitely one to put on your fringe bucket list. The comparisons between Estonia and the UK really made me laugh. Finding out why it’s called the white unicorn is an added bonus!

A hilarious tour through middle life angst in the best tradition of stand up. Highly recommended!

We really enjoyed Heli’s show, she shared her own experiences with audience interaction mixed in. I would really recommend for anyone wanting to laugh at stories that will crack you up whilst also really resonating with your own experiences.

Just completed another busy day at #edinburghfringe with The Adventures of The White Unicorn. We were the only ones in the audience but I can highly recommend it to anyone still looking to book up shows. @heliparna #supportartists #comedy

Heli Parna is Estonian. There was Heli, and only five of us in the audience. Not much for a comedian to feed off, so I initially worried that this could feel like a long show, with forced laughter required. Yet it was a surprise when the fifty minutes was up, and it felt like she’d got to know us almost as well as we got to know her. It’s maybe not the outright funniest show you’ll see, but it has more than enough good laughs, and she is very warm and friendly, fun and absorbing. Plus where else are you going to see an Estonian stand-up? Well worth a look. (And she does explain what the White Unicorn is all about!)
