Tomi Walamies has done over 2,000 gigs in eight different countries, appearing on television in England, Belgium, and Finland. As well as writing for the top news satires in Finland, his latest show tackles the big topics of religion, politics, racism, and homophobia. In this episode, we delve into the cultural differences between Finland and the UK, Tomi's analytical approach to stand up (and life!), and we also explore the origins of his podcast, Queer and Dumb, the mission of a straight person exploring the queer scene.
