We follow comedian Ismo Leikola - known simply as Ismo - as he performs in both English and Finnish. We explore his distinctive brand of intellectual humour and how he enjoys creating theories about the world around him. Ismo was once named the funniest person in the world, and we gain a sense of his celebrity status, particularly in his hometown of Jyv盲skyl盲. He also reveals why he avoids politics and talks about his love life on stage.
Produced and presented by Olga Smirnova
