Spex (speksi in Finnish) is a form of amateur comedy theatre act performed by university students in Sweden and parts of Finland. University cities, such as Gothenburg, Lund, Uppsala, and Linköping have long-running traditions of spex. The word is likely derived from abbreviated student slang for spektakel (spectacle; scene; show).[1][2] This form of comedy theatre may also be known as Gyckel (buffoonery), when performed at a Gask.
