English Comedy Club – May 6th @ Manala in Helsinki !!

Tags: Everything — Author: @ 5:53 pm

The monthly English Comedy Club strikes again on May 6th at Manala in Helsinki. I’ve performed there the past two times, but this time I’ll return as the host, making it my hosting debut! I get nervous just thinking about it. Let’s see what happens. :-)

If you ever wanted to check out stand-up, this is the night to do it, there is TRULY a fantastic line-up: Finn-Brit superstar player Zoë Chandler, the super funny young Russian Nickolay Antonov, the legendary Ismo Leikola, and the master of making fun of Finns and Americans, headliner Rich Lyons.

I’ve written a bunch of Finnish/Finland jokes which I’m dying to try out, I’ve stayed away from the whole Finland theme, but on May 6th I’ll break my silence. Here’s a joke I tried out during the last English Club, about a trip to the airport…

If you want to keep up with my live performances, please join the Facebook Fan page. (right now I only have a few friends, so I look like a bit of a loser. Well, a big loser. Join and help me look like less of a dork! :-)

    Hehe, yeah, so true unfortunately. As you’ve probably guessed, I’ve been writing more comedy and less blog posts. I’ll get back into blogging soon. And in fact, I’m working on an entirely new online project that everyone on here should enjoy….more details to come soon……

    Since you asked so eloquently, I’ve now committed myself and become a fan. Now this better be worth it! See you at Manala.

  • Olli

    That was moderately funny. i think it would have been better if you had suggested Urimat’s RSS-feed be called Urifeed. That would have been hilarious. :P

    Srsly though, good job there.

  • Freeridin’ Franklin

    Oh yes, this one definitely extracted a couple of involuntary chuckles. You’re definitely getting there. As with so many other things in life, timing is everything.

    Still, I feel for Urimat. It is a bit unfair to make fun of them having a website – not everyone can be an innovative forerunner in online services like your employer.

    Comics aside, think about this: Urimat in every household would put an end to this damn “position of the toilet ring” -debate for good. Funding of gender studies could be cut at least 75%.

    …. i was really looking for a post about swine flu btw ;)

  • frenchman

    “Hey but my cousin can have this chicken in the US, its 4 times cheaper than here!!” :D

  • Dave the Revelator

    Hey frenchman WUM, those pictures of the pig farm looked like a concentration camp. Luckily there never were concentration camps in Europe, right?

    At least your chickens are happy.
