PERFORMERS: A MYSTERY
LAUGHTER: GUARANTEED

The Culture Committee is taking Tietokilta members to see a selection of diverse, surprising, and above all high-quality comedy performers on 4.12. from 18:45 to 21:00 at the affordable price of just 8€, including a shared departure. A great deal, makes you laugh!

Komediaklubi SALAKERTA puts together each night’s lineup with two priorities: how funny the artist is, and that they are active in the 2020s. The Finnish comedy scene is full of bold, insightful, and extremely funny performers, and it is their great honor to bring them all under one roof!

If the quota fills up, we will try to purchase additional tickets for those on the waiting list once registration closes.

Welcome to the final Kaleidoscope Cinema screening of 2025 — and to a conversation on disabilities and accessibility in academia.

Join us at the Odeion Auditorium to watch two short films that introduce the theme and open space for shared reflection. This time, we will screen two international shorts: the award-winning Belgian fiction Downside Up (2017) and the experimental short documentary Upgrade (2024). The films set the stage for a panel discussion that explores the topic.
