  • A Finnish Bestseller: Over 43 000 copies sold in all formats since March 2021!

Finnish comedian-writer couple arrives in Los Angeles. Is the city ready for them?

The authors share their personal story of navigating through the Hollywood comedy industry and the American way of life as a freshly arrived writer-comedian couple from a very different society.

As they examine this new world and how their old one looks from afar, they end up realizing their life is like an ongoing stand-up bit. And that the line between tragedy and comedy is truly so fine it’s in many ways non-existent.

Surviving Hollywood With Comedy is the international version of the bestselling Finnish title Suo, kuokka ja Hollywood by the same authors, published in Finland in March 2021.
