Päiväkirjaklubi is a phenomenon that sells out halls all over Finland. Now the Päiväkirjaklubi is coming to Sideways' Royal Club! On the club's stage, you will hear the authentic comments of four readers about what it was like to live as a Finnish teenager at the end of the last millennium. There will be identification, togetherness, laughter, embarrassment, sympathy and even charm.

At Päiväkirjaklubi, former teenagers, now grown-up self-aware sadists, have been sharing their writings with the public since 2014. Not only diary entries but also love letters, school subjects and poems have been read at the clubs. The evening always ends with the Noloi teiniruno-battle, the winner of which is chosen by the audience. The more embarrassing, the better!

A book has also been published about the club's best texts (Eeva Vekki & Risto K. Järvinen: Päiväkirjaklubi. Nemo, 2019).

"Whenever I see Riitta, or I don't see Riitta these days anymore, however, when I know that she sees me, I pretend that I'm having a damn good time, so that she can see that I can manage without her."
Risto K. Järvinen 2 June 1981
