Riku Suokas
Riku is one of the most experienced comedians in Finland and he´s been doing stand-up comedy for over two decades. He’s delighted to make his Belgium debut in February. In his act he talks about himself, his mid-life crisis, failed relationships, not exercising enough and how not to face every-day obstacles. Basically his whole act is one big self help book waiting to be written. Outside of Finland, Riku has performed in Los Angeles, London and Dublin.
“The best thing about the show is that when you walk out of it to a cold February evening in Tampere, life feels absurdly joyful in spite of the darkness and the cold. After the show every conversation that evening sounds as if it was a pre-written joke.” — Aamulehti Newspaper, 2nd of Feb, 2014
“I don’t find him funny at all.” — Riku’s ex wife circa 2006
