Ismo is definitely a pro and extremely hard worker. There is definite support here for him, we know he is damn funny but he has pretty much made the Finnish stand-up scene happen by just tirelessly performing all over the country. Stand-up hasn't enjoyed very much success in Finland outside TV but now we have stand-up clubs in every major town. Ismo deserves this price.
