Description: Estonian comedian Ann Vaida is “Almost Nordic”, or is she really? In this stand-up hour, she wanders through the complexities of searching for identity in a newly independent country still grappling with its roots and ambitions.
From her 90s childhood in Estonia to figuring out what comes next, she takes the audience on an exciting and weird journey. We find out if Estonia is actually Nordic, what queer life in Eastern Europe can look like, and how can anything have meaning anyway.
Ann even admits that some of her jokes are actually sad if you think about them long enough, and she is proud of that. Known for her absurdist takes on everyday topics, she will take a light-hearted trip through time, space, and culture, thinking about the little and big things in life that actually count.
