Stand up comedy in English in Joensuu? Oh yeah, we've got you covered! You're more than welcome to join the English stand up night on the 1st of October (Wednesday) in Mayhem night club (Koskikatu 5). The first English Stand Up Nights have all gathered dozens of comedy fans and first timers alike to enjoy the night. The audience and comedians had a blast laughing for two full hours every time! 💃🌟🎤 You don't want to miss this event, as it is the best (and only 😏) comedy club in Joensuu where you get to hear stand up comedy in English language 😅

The English nights are open mic club nights, which means that the comedians build up and practice new jokes or get up on the stage for the first time. The venue is a pub / night club and fits approximately 60 people in the audience. There is a small discount if you buy tickets from the webshop in advance (9€). The tickets go at 11 € when bought at the venue.

Performers of the 1st of October English stand up comedy night:

MC Happeningfish / Jamie MacDonald - Happeningfish (Jamie MacDonald) is a Canadian-Finnish queer transgender nuisance who has been performing on Finnish stages since 2004, starting out in theatre, veering off into performance art, and finally landing graciously and gorgeously in stand-up comedy. He balances sharp and witty commentary with near-annoying friendliness, and has an awful lot of jokes that blow straight people’s minds forever.

Kyle Ray

Fabien

Cosmin Porusniuc - Cosmin moved to Joensuu in 2019 for his Master’s studies, and somehow this city and the people here convinced me to stay (at least for a while). His day-to-day work revolves around building cool robots that do cool stuff (and will definitely NOT steal your job in the future.. 😃). In his jokes he is trying to mix his experiences and observations from living as a Romanian in Finland with my work in robotics and other themes like politics and music.

Janne Hyttinen

Timo Teern

Kaija Pohjanaalto

Jan Sustersic - Studying for an engineering degree in ICT wasn't funny enough, so he decided to try his hand at stand up comedy.
