With a showcase of Finland’s top comedic talent and Europe’s rising standup stars, the English Comedy Club at Manala is indubitably Finland’s premiere all English-language comedy club.

In September we brought over two of Sweden’s finest comics, and they tore down the sold-out crowd. So in October we’re plucking a couple more of Sweden’s funniest comics: Henrik Elmer and Evelyn Mok, for this very special one-night only performance…

Henrik Elmer (Sweden) | www.myspace.com/henrikelmer

Henrik Elmer is a favourite act amongst promoters and comedy audiences all over the world. Deadpan, deliberate and downright funny, his twisted observations could only come from a man with a compulsion to throw his keys in the river every time he goes over a bridge.

“Deadpan Swede with masterful timing … his control was masterful” – Three Weeks
“Somewhat downbeat and very funny … an interesting vein of quirky humour” – Time Out
“Uses uniquely twisted Nordic logic to produce an off-beat, but very funny, set” – Chortle
“Laid back and extremely funny … cleverly constructed gags” – BBC 7
“The crowd lapped up his humour like a thirsty dog” – BBC Lincolnshire
“Speaks far better English than most of his British-born colleague” – The Guardian

Evelyn Mok (Sweden) | www.myspace.com/evelynmok

Evelyn is Swedish, can’t you tell? Evelyn is also very very funny, can’t you tell…all your friends to come see her live! (please?)

Stewart Johnson (Estonia/USA)

Stewart is a magnet for bizarre events, and loves to recount these stories to audiences. In return, audiences love to listen and laugh along. The wacky choices Stewart makes in life and his extremely dry wit make it easy to relate to him—or not—but spectators will definitely take him to heart and may even reconsider the wisdom of their ways.

Phil Schwarzmann (USA) | www.philschwarzmann.com

Phil Schwarzmann is NOT Jewish. (Not like there’s anything wrong with that!) But like the Jews, he’s pretty funny, and he controls the world’s economy from a secret underground bunker in Switzerland.

HOST: Louis Zezeran (Australia) | www.zezeran.com

Louis Zezeran is NOT gay. How do we know this? Cause he masturbates to Margaret Thatcher. He tells us this on stage, just in case the audience thinks otherwise.

What people are saying about the English Comedy Club…

“The funniest thing I’ve eve

With our commitment to bring you international comedic talent, the “English Comedy Club” at Manala in Helsinki are shipping in a couple guys who are making their Finland debut…

—LINEUP———————

Alireza Shokouhi (SWE) – Hailing from Iran and one of the fast raising stars of Sweden, Alireza will put a whole new meaning to the word, “killing”. He’ll make his stand-up in Finland at Manala’s English Comedy Club, and he hopes to take home his 72nd virgin wife.

Eric Seufert (USA) – Another Finnish debut, comedian Eric Seufert got his start doing improv in Austin, TX and later moved to the UK. Residing now in Tartu, Eric performs stand-up all around Estonia.

Ida Grönlund (FIN) – If you missed Ida at her English Comedy Club premiere in 2009, then you missed out on one of the funniest sets in the club’s history. We’re so happy to have her back, you and should be too!

Phil Schwarzmann (USA) – This asshole keeps getting invited back to the English Comedy Club each month, no one’s sure why. But if you’re into fart sounds made with a human armpit, you’re in for a treat.

Sampo Luoto (FIN) – Sampo performs stand-up in Finnish and made his English-language debut at last month’s open mic. We laughed so hard we’re bringing him to the big stage.

MC Louis Zezeran (AUS) – When this Aussie isn’t wrestling crocodiles with his third arm, he’s performing comedy all around Scandinavia. We’re all tickled and a little bit horny to have Louis hosting the English Comedy Club for the first time.
