Itäkuskus stand-up club

Itäkuskus is a stand-up club that has become a phenomenon in a short time. The concept is simple: "We offer the audience jokes and grammatical errors!"

Each evening features several rotating comedians with immigrant backgrounds and a rotating Finnish comedian. Entertainment star Fabe appears as a regular performer, with videos watched over a million times a month in Finland. Comedian Mebe hosts and acts as MC, and is also the club's producer. Humor topics include cultural differences, the Finnish language, the tax authority, Alko, and Vantaa - political correctness is not the evening's strong suit, so the club is not suitable for sensitive souls.

The language is Finnish, sometimes poor Finnish, and occasionally a performer does material in English. The show lasts approximately 2.5 hours, with an age limit of K18 (drinks are served in the venue). Doors and the Theatre Hall bar open at 6 PM, the show starts at 7 PM. Food is provided by the Box Stoa restaurant. It's worth buying tickets in advance, as evenings sell out quickly.
