"What A Comedian" -Tulsa World

There are billboards and ads all over Branson that read: Danger! Explosive Laughter with Yakov! And it's no joke! Our favorite Russian, Yakov Smirnoff, delivers dynamite comedy and hilarious fun in a laughter-packed show.

From the heartland of America, our funny philosopher takes us on a comedic journey and brings us unique insights into life, family, and these United States.

Yakov's personal experience of coming to America is touching and his take on American culture is absolutely hilarious. Yakov's genuine love for America is apparent throughout his show, and his patriotism is positively contagious. As Yakov says, What A Country, you'll feel like cheering for the red, white, and blue!

The journey begins with Yakov's explosive arrival on stage and from that point on Yakov climbs to new heights in the world of comedy. In this fast-paced production, Yakov takes a turn as the United States President; explores the Laboratory of Laughter; and delivers some razor sharp humor as he focuses on the dynamics between men and women, the happiness that can be found inside oneself, and he celebrates the spirit of life.

The action keeps speeding up as the authentic Russian Dance Troupe leaps and twirls across the stage, and Yakov even takes a unique spin of his own! Speaking of spins, Yakov also uses keen observation and timely wit to comment on the relationships between men and women. In fact, in 2006 Yakov earned his masters degree in applied positive psychology from the Univ. of Penn. During his show, Professor Smirnoff provides humorous insight on the indisputable differences between the genders and shows us how Love and Laughter go hand in hand!
