The performance celebrated Nissi's and Lux's duo’s 10th anniversary and was partly based on their very first performance, titled Could This Give Me Salmonella, originally performed in Pori, 2016.
COMEBACK (could this give me salmonella too) featured a series of short scenes revisiting memorable moments from the original show, alongside new material. These included a cleaning lady transforming into a witch, a demon appearing from a mirror, a solo of an apple, and Miss Universum. Each section explored the idea of causality. The anniversary performance also retained the original ending, in which Viljami hangs himself using the electrical cord of a vacuum cleaner.
