Itäkuskus stand-up club

The Itäkuskus Club is a hilarious stand-up night that has become a phenomenon in a short time. “Jokes and grammar weirdness for everyone!”

At the club, you can forget about your worries and stress. This unique show takes you on a trip to the East with hilarious comedy and unique insights into cultural differences and the Finnish language. There are several rotating immigrant comedians at each gig – and, of course, there is also a rotating, well-known Finnish comedian every evening.

All clubs feature entertainer Fabe. Fabe’s videos will have been hard to avoid, as they accumulate more than a million views per month in Finland and have been shared more than 50,000 times. Why has the club become a such a phenomenon? Fabe replies: “Because Finns love my arm hair and making jokes about them. You can talk about anything and create connections between cultures through humour. This is something totally unique and unbelievable. Be there!”

Club evenings are hosted by one of the most versatile comedians in Finland: Mebe! Mebe is also a producer and an MC! He is a sympathetic teddy bear-like person who charms the audience with quick one-liners and jokes! “You can't see and hear this anywhere else, the hilarious Itäkuskus show is full of surprises, unique jokes and observations. This is like Fazer's milk chocolate, the first time is all it takes to get you hooked! Come and experience the unique Itäkuskus show, like many others that visit every time.”

The club is not recommended for people without a thick skin! Sometimes political correctness feels like a distant ideal in these evenings. The Tax Authority, Alko, the City of Vantaa, the cultural differences between immigrants, as well as phrases in Finnish that even native Finns can not always speak correctly all get roasted.

From the audience:
“We want to support immigrant performers.”
“The jokes here are excellent, the kind I don't hear anywhere else.”
"The concept is great and the evening is full of good performers, everyone so different from one another and good in their own way.”

Come and experience it for yourself and bring your friends!
