I’m doing more stand-up Wednesday night at On The Rocks

Tags: Uncategorized — Author: Phil @ 12:31 pm

top_21_films_2008 On The Rocks in downtown Helsinki hosts “Finland’s Stand Up Club” every Wednesday at 21.00. It’s a night for mostly amateur comics whom each get just a few minutes each (= great format so if you don’t enjoy a particular comic, they’ll be gone in a few moments).

I’ll be performing seven minutes of material, about half will be new stuff. Unfortunately I think I’m the only non-Finnish act, so my fellow foreigners may be kinda bored for 95% of the show. More info can be found on my Facebook page. Hope to see you there!

Phil, have you considered taking The Package? It would enable a transition to full time stand-up.

Nooo package for me, I love Nokia too much to voluntarily leave – especially at a time when it’s damn near impossible to find a job, there’s a shitload of talented people in Helsinki without a paycheck right now.

Well tonight went very mediocrely. It was a completely different crowd than my first time, and 2 hours in and 3 people bombing later, it was my turn and I just never felt comfortable up on stage. I got some laughs after each joke but never really gained any momentum. A good experience all in all and I can’t wait to try it again!
