Tallinn The New Comedy Centre Of The Baltics..


If we were to twattishly refer to somewhere as being a-buzz with excitement, then that is how we would describer Tallinn right now. Or more precisely, the Tallinn comedy scene. But we don't. Nonetheless it's true.

I don't hear you asking why but if you're still reading and want to know the reason, then all will be made clear a line or two from now.

On April 11th, which is a Wednesday this year, Dylan Moran comes to Tallinn to do a gig. Yes, the same Dylan who was in Black Books and Shaun of the Dead (we only really know him from 'Notting Hill' to be honest).

Here is another clip of him in action, or on stage anyway.

Something of a coup de grace, or a coup d'etat or something like that, for the consistently cool Comedy Estonia, a group of comics, evidently, which has gone in two year from, well, being founded to having a major comedy star frm Ireland coming over specially to make us laugh. Well done people!

Added reason for the urgency of this post is that tickets got snapped up like warmed-through cakes; within hours all the tickets on the lower floor (at the Russian Cultural Centre in Tallinn) had gone at 25 Euros and so you need to be bright eyed and all the rest of it on Monday morning, if you're in Tallinn and actually want to come that is, when the balcony tickets go on (according to comedy Estonia). I know I will be. Bet they wish they'd upped the price a bit - I hope the fuckers don't read this as I wouldn't put it past them to do that!
