The trailer has a “Finnish joke”.

Nope. It’s now been cancelled, according to the latest update on the laughriot site.

Bugger. I was really looking forward to this.

Rich Hall’s agent: “The Peacock? Well, it’s a very prestigeous venue… They tell me.”

Rich Hall: “Really? Where is it? Never heard of it. Where is it”

Rich Hall’s agent: “It’s in Finland.”

Rich Hall: “Oh, Finland? Really?”

Rich Hall’s agent: “Yeah, Rich, it’s in Helsinki.”

Rich Hall. “Oh, sounds nice. Must be nice and snowy, guess I should bring a parka! Maybe some skis..”

Rich Hall’s agent: “I wouldn’t bother with all that. They told me it’s just about raining every day, and windy.”

Rich Hall: “Well, I guess we can just do some sightseeing. What’s going on there?”

Rich Hall’s agent: “Well, I hear it’s very dark this time of year… Uhhh….”

Rich Hall: “Yeah. I suppose it is. Well, at least I’ll be headlining, right? Who’s warming up for me?”

Rich Hall’s agent: “…uhhh… Never heard of them. Must be Finnish guys.”

Rich Hall: “Yeah, I suppose it would be. What about the name of the venue. What’s the venue like.”

Rich Hall’s agent: “Well, they told me that it is on top of a hill, in the middle of an amusement park.”

Rich Hall: “Amusement park? Who goes to an amusement park in the winter?”

Rich Hall’s agent: “Uh, well, it’s closed for the season.”

*click*

Rich Hall’s agent: “Hello? Rich? Rich”

I was at the last Laugh Riot event when Charlie Murphy (Eddie’s brother) came to town, the entire venue (Kulturitalo) was nearly sold out. Maybe Rich Hall doesn’t have the same clout as Charlie Murphy? Or maybe Rich just had to cancel?

Who the hell is Charlie Murphy? Eddie’s brother came to Finland to a near sellout crowd?! I suppose that’s par for the course for a country that has that tackily named “black disco night” or whatever it is… Maybe Mr. Hall isn’t African enough for the Finnish comedy audience?

Well that cancels the racist finns whining, doesn’t it, Dave?? I mean we even prefer black comedians so…

Is there another word in your vocabulary that is not the word “whining,” sam?

Yeah, there is Dave, like these here. Do you have anything else than whining in your thoughts?

And how to hell this subject is connected to Rich Hall or comedy???

Jeez Sam stop whining about whining – it’s like shouting about shouting.
@ Dave # 4 lol very funny – hopefully not true.

That word “whining” is so often used by Hank.
Are you two quite similar? Because other people find a difference from whining to questioning analyzing commenting etc.

How it is that often I can’t visit the issues? Did someone ban my ips?

Well x, if you would just buy a Hummer, then the EU folks, would thank you for all the global warming……

//naw, just drive it anyway…..

Jesus Fuck! Do I have to volunteer to be a contributor to this site to be able to read some fresh material?

The Hummer? Sometime I wonder why to recicle the screws to the metals, the apples peels to the “composti”.
I love my country! I’m gonna celebrate with a big gorgeous forest firrrey!!!

Hay winnie! How’s the portfolio?

Hay winnie! How’s the portfolio?

Hi! I have been reading a few of ur txt’s here, and I HATE U. Like.. Go back to America! -.- U should RESPECT the country you are living in, I’m not surprised of you negative attitude.

U r thinking like a five year old kid, if one finnish guy doesn’t like winter sports, the finnish people doesn’t like it. You are giving a fucking wrong picture of Finland, you aren’t looking at the both sides of anything.

Why did you even move here, when if you are complaining about everything and comparing it to America?

Ppl like u should b banned from Finland! Oh, sry, now u r thinking “Finnish people thinks that ppl like me should be banned from the country!”

Oh gosh.. Really, if u hate it so much, go back where u came from.

GREETINGS, Sandra :>

Sandra: you are a munch.

First shock, but now that Finn knows a lil bit more that other places do really exist and things should be freely discussed and even criticized (for improvements).

The server switched so there ought to be less problems with access. Cookie monsters may disrupt the connection.

OK Dave, or x or somebody, name a few a topics, you might get what you ask for.

Yeah! Rich Hall. Dag, I haven’t thought of him in a long time. Wasn’t he on “Not Necessarily the News,” way back when? He is the dude who came up with snigglets, too, words that should be in the dictionary, but aren’t:
