Merry Christmas, Happy Whatever, & Comedy Is Coming Back 🎤

Hey lovely people,

Genuinely. I hope the holidays are treating you kindly, or at the very least, giving you a socially acceptable excuse to lie down for days on end.

Thus, Merry Christmas — or happy whatever you celebrate — and a big, hopeful Happy New Year to you all.

As promised I won’t bother you much, so let’s get down to business (to defeat the huns, H-WOAH!)

EXCITING DEVELOPMENT that barely took me 8 months to get around to:

I’ll be releasing the first couple of episodes of my NEW PODCAST in January. The plan is to drop new episodes roughly every couple of weeks (roughly 3), depending on how organised I pretend to be.

• Each episode will end with an Agony Aunt/Uncle segment — so if you have any troubles, gripes, dilemmas, or low-level existential crises, I’d love to hear from you.

You can:

• Reply directly to this email

• Email me at irasylvestergb@gmail.com

• Send a voice note via Instagram or any other social platform

I will then use the wisdom I’ve gathered from years of self-sabotage and introspection to offer advice of questionable but heartfelt quality.

Other Good News:

We’re also launching a test run of a new professional club-night-style comedy show at Proud Mary!!!

2nd January - 8pm - Free Show - Proud Mary Bar

This is not an open mic or new-material night — I’ll be bringing three professional comedians to deliver a proper banger of show. Guaranteed laughs. No experiments. No “bear with me”.

It’s designed to help shake off the New Year blues and start the year the right way, with laughter!

It’s free for now, as it’s the first one — that will change in future, so now’s your moment to feel smug about being early.

Final Good News: Comedy is back in January, and I’ll be back hosting my regular shows very soon! Same time, same room, same emotional instability.

Mondays at Proud Mary — 8pm — from January 8th

Wednesdays at No Stress Bar — 8pm — from January 7th

Side Notes:

• Also on the 28th Dec I’m hosting an attempt at the WORLD’s BIGGEST PAKKELEJ event at Proud Mary!!!

  • Trust me it’s gonna be chaos!

  • Entrance fee is a 50kr wrapped gift to participate.

• If you’re in or around Mälmo I’ll be performing at a comedy show on the 24th January. I assume the time is 8pm, but I can’t find the details, check my insta closer to the date!

Until then — take care of yourselves, be kind, and I’ll see you in the new year!

Love,

Ira 🎄
