The More the Merrier - Stand-Up Comedy Night

The most relatable, touching and most importantly funny stand-up can come from quite many places from those who perform it, but most often it comes from matters of the heart. The more of them, the merrier.

There seems to be a relationship style that captures the public's attention every few months of the 21st century - the kind that our grandparents may have practiced quite happily but definitely did not do so publicly back then. Amongst the ~100 publicly flown Pride flags, the practice of polyamory has raced into the spotlight in books, movies and television in the 2020s especially and on Wednesday 5 November, will fall under the actual physical spotlight of a Kallio, Helsinki stand-up stage (just in time for International Polyamory Day).

Californian comedian and board member of the Finnish Polyamory Association Jason DeBose (Comedy by the Sea) will host a lineup of comedians who do not rest on their relationship style as the basis for their performances, but really just funny people with amusing thoughts and a rich background on comedy stages who also happen to live non-monogamously.

The More the Merrier promises a night of insight, effortless laughter, testing of society's conventional boundaries and a batch of several talented performers whose own ability to shine and connect with audiences will make 5 November an afterwork performance to remember.
