There ought to be a caution sign as you enter the Yakov Smirnoff Theatre in
Branson, Missouri. It should read “Warning! Hold on to your seat ‘cause this guy
is about to blow you away with dynamite comedy!” This ‘guy’ of course is
Branson’s Two-Time Comedian of the Year, Yakov Smirnoff, the famous Russian
Comedian. He delivers explosive laughter in a show filled with brilliant special
effects, dazzling dancing, heartfelt moments, and just plain fun. Yakov’s entire
show is packed with comedic tall tales and witty perceptions, funny facts and
huge laughs.
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. As Yakov says, "Only In America can a Russian and a Japanese own a
theater in the middle of the Ozarks!"
From the surprise pre-show excitement to the swirling action of Yakov's
Russian Dancers to the spectacular closing event, Yakov's show keeps you in
side-splitting laughter and patriotic wonder. As he embraces his visitors with
welcoming smiles, Yakov combines his refreshing humor with emotional motivation for all of us.
