Called “the most insightful comic in Finland,” ISMO immediately made a splash with his U.S. debut in 2014 at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood, where he won the title of “The Funniest Person in the World.” He has performed to sold-out crowds around the world, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, Mexico, and Europe. Known for his unique observational comedy that makes people see familiar things differently through his new-to-America perspective, ISMO was the first Finnish comedian to perform on “CONAN,” with his clip becoming one of the most-viewed late-night sets of all time at over 106 million views. He was handpicked by Gabriel Iglesias to open for Iglesias’ groundbreaking special at Dodger Stadium in front of 60,000 fans, and wrote and starred in two seasons of his own sitcom, “ISMO.” He wrote the best-selling book “US & us: Surviving Hollywood with Comedy” – which became one of Finland’s most popular audiobooks – and is writing a second book set to debut in 2023. He has filmed four specials and appeared on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” NBC’s “Bring the Funny,” and NBC’s “Last Call with Carson Daly.” In 2019, ISMO teamed up with Merriam Webster to release a digital comedy series of videos roasting the English language.
