Biography

Kummeli is the name of a Finnish comedy crew formed by three musician-actors Heikki Silvennoinen, Timo Kahilainen and Heikki Hela from Tampere. They are also the heads of the Porkkana Ryhmä, the crew’s production company. Other famous members have included Olli Keskinen, better known for his on-screen persona Eero Kakko, and Heikki Vihinen who replaced Keskinen in the mid-90s is also the head of the Tampere Theatre.

Kummeli appeared on television between 1991 and 1995. After a successful three-part pilot aired they were given their own show on YLE’s channel 2 with a completely new look. The Kummeli TV show was primarily composed of sketches with some insane characters but sometimes shows would also feature musical guests as the core crew of the team were actually musicians rather than professional actors (with the exception of Hela who ironically ended up behind the camera during the early episodes of the show). Some episodes would also have a running-set of skits that would reach a conclusion at the end of the episode (such as a father and son visiting an exhibit where the wax figures are actually the caretakers in various costumes).

In the mid-90s, after the end of the show the Kummeli crew would make random appearances in TV and different events. During this time Keskinen left the crew and was replaced by Heikki Vihinen.
