Isak Jansson is coming to Essinge Comedy Club
On 4 November, we’re starting the new format of Essinge Comedy Club at Rosa Drömmar. And now I can finally tell you who our first headliner will be: Isak Jansson.
I’m very happy that he’ll be joining us.
The first time I met Isak was at Big Ben, in the comedians’ corner. We exchanged a few words. Since then, we’ve crossed paths several times at comedy nights.
On one of those occasions, we had a really interesting conversation about stand-up. He told me he had opened for Gad Elmaleh when Gad performed in Stockholm.
Gad is a familiar name to anyone who follows comedy in France. After building a career performing in French, he took on a new challenge: performing in English in the United States. Another language, another audience, and the experience of starting again.
Isak is an experienced comedian, but he’s also very easy to talk to. He’s an excellent writer and someone who clearly cares about what he does. That’s part of why it’s such a pleasure to welcome him to the club.
If you don’t know his work yet, here are a few things to start with.

He has also appeared on SVT’s Släng dig i Brunnen and created shows including Dalaapan. This year, he toured with Ahmed Berhan and Branne Pavlovic as part of Minirundan.
You can find more about his work and recordings on his website.
For our first night with this new format, Isak will be joined by Tore Kullgren, Milad Parchami and Manoush Nayab. I’ll be your MC.
I wrote about the club and what we’re trying to build in my previous article. Having Isak as our first headliner is a lovely way to begin this next part.
If you’re nearby, come and spend the evening with us. I’m looking forward to it.
