Description

with Special Guest Pete Lee

ISMO is often called “the most insightful comic in Finland.” Now a resident in the United States, he continues to be the ultimate observer of culture and master of word-play. His sharp writing and uniquely hilarious delivery makes quick fans of people from all backgrounds.

No matter where you are in the world, ISMO has an undeniable ability to make people see familiar cultural norms in an entirely new way! ISMO’s WOOHOO! WORLD TOUR kicks off in Australia and New Zealand in November 2024 and will expand across the U.S., Europe, Canada, and beyond in 2025.

ISMO was the first Finnish comedian to perform on CONAN, and the clip of his performance has become one of the most viewed late-night sets with over 135 million views! His debut appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden brought an overwhelming response and new level of success, garnering astronomical growth on his social media. ISMO hit the road almost non-stop with sold-out performances in clubs and theaters internationally.

He attracted big fans, such as Gabriel Iglesias, who asked ISMO to open for his groundbreaking special at Dodger Stadium in front of 60,000 fans. Later in 2023, ISMO opened for Gabriel at the O2 Arena in London. ISMO went on to sell out his own European tour, adding a second show in each city with plans for a larger-scale return in 2025.

Pete Lee is a stand-up comedian known for his multiple appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and viral standup clips on Instagram and TikTok.

Lee was the first standup comedian to get a standing ovation on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and has since made 9 appearances on the show including his most recent appearance in 2025. This happened after Jimmy personally attended one of Pete’s live shows in NYC and immediately invited him on the show.

Pete’s joyful humor comes from his Midwestern roots. Raised in Janesville, WI by divorced parents and a 19-inch television, he was destined to pursue a career in entertainment. Soon after moving to NYC, he was selected to perform at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, where he was voted a standout performer.

In 2008, Pete made his network television debut performing on NBC’s Last Comic Standing finishing as a semi-finalist. That same year, he made his television acting debut on the CBS Soap Opera As The World Turns and shot his own Comedy Central Half Hour Special, which earned him a cult following at comedy clubs. In 2021, Pete released his first 1-hour stand-up special, Tall, Dark and Pleasant on Showtime.

Most recently, Lee voiced the lead character Lamb in the Emmy Award winning series Jam Van on YouTube Kids.

Other appearances include VH1’s Best Week Ever, TruTV’s Greatest Ever, Nickelodeon’s NFL Rush, TruTV’s Comedy Knockout, Comedy Central’s Roast Battle and CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman.

Today the comedian is currently on his national 2025 Ready To Connect Tour. For more info and dates go-to: Petelee.net
