ISMO's Perseverance Tour brings internationally acclaimed Finnish comedian Ismo Leikola to The Wilbur for a night of sharp observational comedy and clever wordplay. Famous for his hilarious viral stand-up, ISMO combines original comedic material with the Finnish term "sisu," which refers to the spirit of Finnish determination. This performance features an hour of intelligent humor, blending individual perspectives on our world today that will resonate with people of all races, ethnicities, and social backgrounds.

First Fridays: R&B Night With SILK delivers smooth rhythms and soulful energy to an enjoyable evening of music and art.
