Stageway, All Things Live Norway & Acomic Soul present: ISMO – Perseverance Tour
ISMO is an internationally acclaimed comedian, writer, rally driver, and master of wordplay. After recovering from a broken back, Finland’s funniest export is back — sharper, tougher, and funnier than ever!
On the Perseverance Tour, ISMO blends his sharp observational humor with true Finnish sisu — the drive, stubbornness, and courage to face adversity. The result? A show that’s clever, surprising, and laugh-out-loud funny from start to finish.
ISMO has become a global voice for everyone who speaks English as a second language, winning fans worldwide with his precise and absurd takes on language, culture, and life’s little (and big) oddities.
The tour kicks off in 2026, taking him to the USA, Canada, Australia, Europe, the Middle East, South Africa, and Asia — with all-new material and a fresh perspective on human foolishness.
Since moving to the US, ISMO has appeared on NBC, CBS, Just For Laughs, Top Gear Finland, and notably Conan, where his stand-up clip went viral with over 135 million views. The following year, he appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden, which propelled his career further and cemented his status as an internet phenomenon.
