Comedy Estonia is a group of people introducing stand up comedy to the Estonian culture. They have events every month, mainly in Tartu and Tallinn, but also other Estonian villages.
The shows in Tartu take place at restaurant Vilde and they have been very popular, so if you want a good seat, remember to come early. The show has Estonian and foreign stand up comedians with the usual group of Louis Zezeran, Sander Õigus and Stewart Johnson and imported comedians from various countries. Part of the show is usually in Estonian, but most of it is in English.
The show is always lively and the comedians are well picked, but one of the best parts of the show is the Estonians' reactions to the comedians and the comedians' reactions to the Estonian silent stares and the "I dare you to make me laugh"-attitude. This is very entertaining from Bokkila's perspective. It is hilarious, when the comedian tries to establish a connection with the Estonian audience, when most of the time the response to any questions asked is an awkward silence. The Estonians add to the show a charm of their own. Definitely a must go, if you are in Tartu.
