Yakov Smirnoff

Delight in a performance that showcases laughter’s effects on relationships and Smirnoff’s vision of a world where sadness and tears are replaced with love and happiness. During the show guests will witness Smirnoff’s insightful and laughter-filled philosophies on life, love, family and country through his unique comedic style.

 

America: What a Country

One of the comedian’s original comedy styles, it wouldn’t be a night with Yakov Smirnoff without one of his classic “America: what a country” skits. Using irony and word play, Smirnoff will have you rolling with laughter as he tells jokes like, “I go to New York and see a sign that says ‘America loves Smirnoff’ and I say to myself what a country.”

 

Russian Reversal

Originated by Smirnoff, Russian reversal is a type of comedy Smirnoff uses in which he swaps the noun with a “you” and adds “in Soviet Russia” to the start. Don’t be surprised when one of his wonderfully witty Russian reversals has you roaring in unstoppable laughter.
