Ismo

Ismo, a Finnish stand-up comedian, has made close observation of everyday life and wordplay his trademark. With precise writing and a controlled delivery, he dissects our habits, reflexes and, above all, our language, turning them inside out with an offbeat twist that resonates with audiences everywhere. Seen on American television on Conan and The Late Late Show with James Corden, he has since played stages ranging from intimate clubs to large theatres across Europe and the United States. In 2023 he opened for Gabriel Iglesias at London’s O2 Arena before embarking on his own European tour. On stage, Ismo works with nuance and double meanings, hunts down the little absurdities that slip into our conversations, and constructs a clear, no‑frills stand-up. Ismo will be at L'Alhambra in Paris on 3 June 2026 for a set that distils this energy and sharp perspective, balancing precise writing with a taste for surprise.
