Kreisiraadio (English: Crazy Radio) is an established Estonian comedy act, made up of Hannes Võrno, Peeter Oja and Tarmo Leinatamm.

They have been around since 1993 with radio and TV sketch shows. Their sketches have introduced the hazardous sport of stoneball, the character of the arrogant man with a flat hat and that of the Estonian immigrant from Sweden talking nonsense Swedish much in the same way that their Eurovision Song Contest 2008 song Leto svet (Summer Light) uses nonsense Serbian &/or some Russian uncensored words. The song was performed by the act in the first semi-final of the contest on May 20, 2008 but turned out to be unsuccessful, being ranked 18th (out of 19 songs) with 8 points (7 from Finland and 1 from Moldova).
