Your evening's Comedy Lineup:

Headliner: Elena Gabrielle

Elena Gabrielle is an Australian-born, London-based stand-up comedian, storyteller, and singer known for her witty, no-holds-barred, and often risqué comedy about modern relationships, dating, and cultural observations. She has gained a significant international following, with over 40 million views on YouTube. She did her first US tour in 2025. Worldwide, she has toured extensively, performing in over 65 countries, including a 3-year run with the Story Party Tour, and solo shows such as "DIRRTY" (2021/22), "Addickted" (2023), and "OK!?" (2024). Her current tour (as of late 2025) is titled "Disturb the Vibe". She has also appeared on television, making her Australian debut on Channel 7's Jim Jefferies and Friends in 2025, and was featured in global "Swatch" advertising campaigns in 2021. Trained in musical theatre at NIDA, she also holds a Guinness World Record for producing and performing in Burleskathon, a 24-hour continuous burlesque event.

Feature: Elena Popa

Elena Popa is a Romanian comedian based in the Netherlands whose comedy is darkly funny, painfully relatable, and weirdly elegant — like therapy, if therapy came with punchlines. She was a finalist in the English Comedy Talent Award competition at Utrecht International Comedy Festival in 2025 and performed at the Edinburgh Fringe for the first time in summer 2025.

Special Feature: Kaisa Pyikkänen

Originally known for her work writing comedy and political satire for television, Kaisa Pylkkänen took up stand-up comedy in 2010 and since then, she has performed on several seasons of the popular TV show "Stand up!", as well roasting politicians and TV presenters on primetime TV-shows in her native country Finland.  In 2020 she was voted Comedian of The Year by her peers in Finland. Her other international work includes performing at the Brighton, Reykjavik and Tallinn Fringe festivals, at the Hot Water Comedy Festival in Liverpool, the Laugh Riot Grrrl comedy festival in Los Angeles, as well as doing gigs in 15 countries around Europe and the US. In her native Finland Kaisa has opened for comics like Jim Gaffigan. Fun fact: Finland's most well-known comic, Ismo, opened for Kaisa at the Finnish Club in Hollywood.
