“The highlight of the night. His observational comedy with a Finnish accent can be blamed for the teary mascara mishaps. He brought the rating of the show up from not just five stars, but to five michelin stars – the cream of the crop.”

”The wonderful Finn Ismo Leikola bringing the house down with his daft ”foreigner abroad” shtick. He´s got an entertaining off-kilter mind and a gift for comic misunderstanding which probably made him the hit of the night.”
