'The Finnish comedian bankrolled himself to victory at Friday night's final round, a five-comic showdown at the Laugh Factory in Las Vegas. The competition was streamed over the internet.

When the votes were counted Monday, Leikola had 158,945. In second place was Saad Haroon of Pakistan with 59,213.

Mustapha El Atrassi of France was third, Nitin Mirani of United Arab Emirates was fourth and Archie Bezos of Spain was fifth.

Leikola wins $10,000 and a national comedy tour. '(http://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=11349425)

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.
