How Finnish comedian Ismo Leikola conquered America, or more precisely, how does it feel when you move from a Nordic welfare nanny state to Los Angeles to continue building your career as a world class comedian. The book is not so much about comedy itself, but life in a new country in general. Power couple Angelika and Ismo Leikola are highlighting several differences between Finnish and American cultures and telling about first hand experiences after moving abroad. For me as an immigrant myself, there is a strong connection with many of the struggles they had faced when settling down in completely new surroundings in a new country. This book is very easy to read (or listen in case of an audiobook). Good shit!
