"Gambämark" is a musical produced and performed by the Finnish-Swedish humor group KAJ in co-operation with Wasa Teater. Originally premiering on stage at the Ritz Hotel in Vaasa in the autumn of 2018, it premiered on TV for the wide public on 1.3.2019. "Gambämark" is about a small town in Finnish Ostrobothnia, which decides to isolate itself from the outer world and builds a large wall around its borders. The people of the town enjoy life as it used to be - but is everyone truly happy?

Nisse’s wife Leila has just died but he feels he’s done enough mourning. Friends and family are overrun by Nisse who just wants the funeral to be over and done with. No fuss and no mourning here! Nisse demands to be left alone. So, there he is, with the only thing remaining – the sorrow. Nisse grows to understand that even a deep loss is no excuse to eliminate everyone and everything.

The humor group KAJ celebrates its 10th anniversary with a big concert for the home audience in Ostrobothnia. Their most popular songs are interspersed with new musical elements and surprises.
