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.

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.

Manala is arguably Helsinki’s finest comedy venue and its monthly English Comedy Club is hands-down the best English night in Finland. So be sure not to miss this awesome night on October 8th.

This month Yannis Pappas (USA) is back in Finland and will headline the English Club once more. He’ll be joined by myself, MC Ali J., Stephanie Gaudreau, and surprise guests.

Tickets are just 8€ (5€ for students). Show starts at 8pm. Get more details from their Facebook Event page.
