It’s the one-year anniversary of our chucklebaby! See an incredible international lineup, including:
Host
Erin Crouch splits her time between the Pacific Northwest and Eastern Europe, because she can’t get enough of rain and socialism. She has been featured on festivals like All Jane Comedy Festival (2018), Chicago Women’s Funny Fest (2018) and Alaska B4UDie (2019).
Featuring
Nikita Oster
Nikita insists he is very funny; he’s lived in Russia, Cambodia, Ukraine and the Netherlands and did not feel at home anywhere, until he met you. Nikita brings an outsider’s perspective to indoor events with material that is occasionally funny but consistently sad and absurd, much like himself.
Yumi Nagashima
In just three short years, stand-up comedian and actress Yumi Nagashima has made a splash on the North American comedy scene with her sassy stage presence and unique point of view. Yumi is a mainstay on the Vancouver comedy scene but she has performed in seven different countries and appeared on the CBC radio program “The Debaters.” She has been featured on NW Just For Laughs and was a finalist in the 2016 & ‘17 Yuk Off Competition. Yumi is also an accomplished actress and has many acting credits to her name, including “The Man in the High Castle”.
Headliner
Kaisa Pylkkänen
Kaisa is one of her native Finland’s top stand up comedians, as seen on Channel 4’s hit show Stand Up! She worked as a writer for television for over a decade before finally taking the stage back herself in 2010. Since then, she has revolutionized the scene for women in the industry in Finland with her five- woman collective “All Female Panel”, booking the most sold out stand-up shows in a club in Helsinki, as well as starting a new comedy festival to promote female comics. In her comedy, Kaisa has focused on turning anger into an art form, patriarchy into a joke and white wine into anti-aging cream.
