Pyjama Party is an unruly and sassy sketch comedy show with full of music, entertainment, personal accounts of the comedians’ private lives and weird performances such as awkward wedding speeches and clumsy lap dances. Every episode deals with a different type of theme e.g. Relationship (season 1 episode 2), Home (season 1 episode 3), Work (season 1 episode 4) or Sex (season 1 episode 5). Pyjama Party's sketch Booze day (Viinapäivä), which shows parents behaving like little children in a liquor store, became an international YouTube hit in 2015.[2] It also received the annual award for promoting temperance in 2015.[3]

Pyjama Party won the Kultainen Venla Award for the best comedy and sketch program in 2014 and 2015. Pyjama Party was also selected for a nominee of The Best Comedy Show in Rose d'Or Awards 2016.[4]
