Manala is back with another English Open Mic night on November 5th at 8pm. I’ll be hosting. Tickets are just 2€ from the door.

You’ll see professional Finnish comics trying out material in English. Young comics working on their sets. First-timers. Crazy people.

…cause at an Open MIc, anyone (yes, ANYONE) can have their five minutes of fame. All you need to do is e-mail openmic@botta.fi to signup!

If you missed the last open mic, it was an absolute riot. 150+ in attendance. We surely broke some world record for open mics with that kind of audience.

Hope to see you there!

One photo was taken of me during the last English Open Mic, and this it it.

On the 30th of September 2004, Comedy Club Laugh Riot was born and rapidly became the numer one presenter of overseas standup comedy in Finland.

On the 30th of September 2009, Laugh Riot celebrates its five-year history of bringing joy to audiences by arranging the most intense night of laughter that the country has ever witnessed!

All performers will be representing different nationalities, and the entire evening will be held in English.

Each and every one of this night’s performers has built a global reputation and achieved headliner level. There is no English-speaking comedy club in this world where any one of the performers would not be able to close the night.

The line up is now complete and we proudly announce:

Magnus Betner (Sweden)
Nina Conti (Great Britain)
Stewart Francis (Canada)
Steve Hughes (Australia)
Ismo Leikola (Finland)
Yannis Pappas (USA)
Al Pitcher (New Zealand)
