There are so many people who have lived every day of their life in the United States of America, yet fail to appreciate what a wonderful country we live in. Yakov Smirnoff, born and raised in communist Russia, brings not only a refreshingly different look at American culture, but a deep love for this country and heart-felt gratitude for the opportunities most of us take for granted. Smirnoff shares many stories about such events as his arrival in America, getting in trouble at school, and observations about life's ups and downs. You'll even learn what "yup" means in Russian! Smirnoff has other talents most of us may not have known. At his show, you'll learn about a historic event he had a hand in shaping.

Smirnoff may be the headliner, but he is not the only source of entertainment. His sidekick, Slim Chance, is also hilarious! He juggles things you'd never expect to see in the air, and performs in fun skits with
Smirnoff. He is definitely an asset to the show. You'll also have a sampler of entertainment from Russia to make the show complete.

The theater is large, but worry not: There are large video screens, so no matter where you sit, you'll have a great view of all the fun. Ushers are friendly, and there are snacks such as popcorn and soda to munch. There is ample room between rows, so you won't have to walk over someone's knees to get to a seat.

There are, of course, wonderful souvenirs of the show to take home and keep the humor alive. Younger children may not be entertained by this show, but don't worry, there will be nothing that is offensive in this show.

Be sure not to miss Yakov Smirnoff's show! You'll get a good belly laugh workout!
