Description

Join Yakov as he celebrates 30 years of laughter in Branson!

In American comedy, Yakov Smirnoff is a comedy icon. He came to the United States in 1977 after escaping from Ukraine, which at the time was a part of the Soviet Union, with nothing but a goal. He wound up in Hollywood at The Comedy Store despite not speaking English, and the proprietor, Mitzi Shore, took him under her wing.

Yakov rose to fame while working there alongside comics like Robin Williams, Richard Pryor, Billy Crystal, David Letterman, and countless others. He appeared with Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show," appeared frequently on "Night Court," and even had a program that bore the name of his catchphrase, "What A Country!"

Yakov will be performing at his own 2,000 seat theater in Branson, Missouri, where he delights audiences with his unique brand of comedy. With the heart of dreamer, Yakov Smirnoff has made the impossible possible and continues to inspire others with his love for America.

“You’ll Laugh your YAK-OFF” and leave with the gift of love and laughter.

"Our fat asses couldn't stand your tiny, narrow theater seats Yakov!"

If you want to step back in time to 1985 or so, go see this man's show. It's a little bit of his personal history as well as present day happenings, coupled with a lot of old jokes and a few new ones. In general, though there's mostly filler-- you get 60% Yakov and 40% "other" with this 2 hour show (which includes a long intermission). He'll involve the audience by asking them to tell jokes. He'll have helpers entertain with dancing and comedy and singing... and there will be a lot of self-promotion. He will also tell you he got Ronald Reagan to use comedy to get Gorbachev to tear down the wall, so Yakov saved the world from communism-- what a guy! Is he likeable? I think so. But is his theatre dated, like a time capsule from years ago? Yes. And the seats-- yikes, the seats are narrow for fat asses like us! If you weigh more than 250 pounds, be prepared to hurt! Sitting in the front row in those seats made for thin people did not make for a comfortable evening out-- instead it was like, "When will this be over so we can get out of these godawful seats!"

"Family friendly comedy"

Family friendly, clean comedy. It was more of a variety show that included dancers, ventriloquist, jokes from audience, all of which were “ok”. My favorite parts were Yakov monologue and the Trump impersonator. I gave it 3/5 because it wasn’t as funny as I’d hoped.

"Patriotic comedy show"

We really enjoyed the show with a lot of laughs and a very talented impersonator and ventriloquist who added a lot to the show. There was a little bit of dancing and music, but this show is about 80% comedy. The show is patriotic with a funny skit involving a Trump impersonator.

Yakov is an amazing American. He is an art professor, artist, and a superb comedian. His perspective on everyday life experiences is refreshing. We all need to laugh more. Honored to experience this show. Such a giving heart. He makes us examine our own love of our country to see how we measure up. Often we take what we already possess for granted. Lady Liberty ...let freedom ring in the hearts of all Americans.
