UMO invites you to witness what happens when stand-up comedy, music, and a truly grand jazz orchestra are combined.
The comedian, presenter and Finnish sweet heart Ernest Lawson and the one-man band Sam Weckman have delighted audiences all over Finland with their music-based comedy show Hymypoika. The tour culminates spectacularly together with the 17 musicians of the UMO Helsinki Jazz Orchestra, lifting their music to new heights and dimensions.
Come and witness the result of combining stand up and music with a really grande jazz orchestra! UMO promises you an evening full of laughter.
The song lyrics are written by Ernest Lawson and the music by Sam Weckman. The arrangements for UMO are made by Pessi Levanto, known for his film scores. The unique and unforgettable show is conducted by Ed Partyka.
Ernest Lawson has amused and entertained the Finnish people for many years in popular Finnish TV programs like Putous and Tanssii Tähtien Kanssa. Besides his work on TV, the multi-talent has performed around a thousand times on different comedy stages. Ernest’s self-deprecating and always topical humour draws from among other things middle age, parenthood and the biggest phenomenons of the 2020’s.
