Ismo

“ISMO is often called “the most insightful comic in Finland.” Now a resident in the United States, he continues to be the ultimate observer of culture and master of word-play. His sharp writing and uniquely hilarious delivery makes quick-fans of people of all backgrounds.

No matter where you are in the world, ISMO has an undeniable ability to make people see familiar cultural norms in an entirely new way! ISMO’s WOO HOO! WORLD TOUR kicks off in Australia and New Zealand in November 2024 and will expand across the U.S., Europe, Canada and beyond in 2025.
ISMO was the first Finnish comedian to perform on CONAN and the clip of his performance has become one of the most viewed late-night sets with over 135 million views! His debut appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden brought an overwhelming response and new level of success, garnering astronomical growth on his social media. ISMO hit the road almost non-stop with sold-out performances in clubs and theatres internationally.
He attracted big fans such as Gabriel Iglesias who asked ISMO to open for his groundbreaking special at Dodger Stadium in front of 60,000 fans. Later in 2023 ISMO opened for Gabriel at the 02 Arena in London. ISMO went on to sell-out his own European tour, adding a 2nd show in each city with plans for a larger-scale return in 2025.
