Markku Tapani Toikka (born April 5, 1955 in Somero, Finland) is a Finnish stand-up comedian and actor. He lives in Helsinki and has 2 children, Toivo Toikka who plays in band called "Security" and acts in amateur movies and girl named Tuuli. He has also a wife, Ulla-Maija and one cat.
His acting roles include "Frank" in the Aki Kaurismäki film Calamari Union. His Frank is the Frank who for most of the film appears to gibber in English in an apparent schichoprenic delusion about his days as a soldier of fortune. This viewer interpretation is subverted towards the end of the movie, as a group of Latin American freedom fighters wreak their vengeance by shooting him like a dog.
As a stand-up comic, his shtick has largely been that of the balding middle aged man going through an identity crisis.
