Finnish comedians who cause a stir on the UK comedy circuit are hardly ten-a-penny, so ISMO’s mid-month Birmingham gig offers a perfect opportunity to bag yourself a novel experience. 

Combining clever wordplay and sharp observational humour with a refreshingly unique perspective on the trials and tribulations of everyday life, the 47-year-old funnyman - full name Ismo Mikael Leikola - shot to stardom in the United States more than a decade ago, emerging victorious from comedy club Laugh Factory’s inaugural ‘funniest person in the world’ competition. 

ISMO is touring the UK this month having recently recovered from a broken back.
