Description: Me, Myself & AI is a comedical story about a Finnish man who fell in a rabbit hole called the computer world, and decided to see how much creativity and humor he could pull out of it.
On stage, a stand-up comedian meets and runs technological demos, and interactive AI characters living inside mannequins and machines. A childhood fascination with code and humorous games grows into a live experiment. Can algorithms learn timing, absurdity, rhythm of a joke and a connection with the audience?
The performance combines storytelling with real-time collaboration between human and machine. Audience suggestions feed the show, the system responds in unexpected ways, and the comedian shapes the moment into something alive. The result is a new form of comedy built on shared creation of a human and machine, and at the same time, a comedy show that will never repeat itself.
Instead of making jokes about technology, the show invites technology into the act.
Funny, slightly chaotic, and occasionally thoughtful, Me, Myself and AI - Comedy Show explores what happens when machines are pushed to be creative and funny and what that reveals about human imagination.
