NoName Comedy Nights is a series of three two-hour stand-up shows in English, organised by the Finn-Brit Players at the NoName Theatre. Each evening, a big bunch of comedians will do their best to make you laugh so that everyone can – at least momentarily – forget how it’s November in Finland.... maybe.
Join us for an hour of brand-new poetry, monologues and music!
A folk night featuring bands that dwell like fungus in the cellars of Helsinki. They’ll crawl out of the plug sockets and spawn onto the stage with raucous, touching and raucously touching Americana, Scottish, Irish, English and Finnish folk music old and new.
