Yakov Smirnoff

The Soviet Union wasn’t the only Eastern European institution to undergo a radical change in the 1990’s. After appearing on countless television shows in the seventies and eighties including "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" along with command performances at The White House for Presidents, Russian born comedian Yakov Smirnoff also set a new agenda. His humorous observations have evolved along with current events and his personal reflections on family life grow more rich and comical as his household increases in size.
The big transition in Yakov Smirnoff's stage persona began with his one-hour Showtime special entitled, "Yakov Smirnoff from Moscow...ldaho." In this critically acclaimed program, Smirnoff made the change from the wide-eyed immigrant who didn't understand the difference between perfume and toilet water, to a much more sophisticated, wide-eyed husband and father who doesn't understand the difference between natural childbirth and torture. The results of Yakov Smirnoff's risky change is hilarious. The Showtime special was nominated for a prestigious ACE Award, the cable industry's top honor. It also pulled down some of the biggest rating numbers of any comedy special in Showtime's history. Smirnoff's ability to draw sell-out crowds across the country is further testimony to his continuing popularity. Although he has shed some of his naivete, he has kept the fresh, likable appreciation of America that audiences enjoy so much.
With this crisp, new stage show firmly in place and exciting new projects in development, the accomplished comedian is poised to continue his love affair with America. In his own words, "I've been very fortunate here in the U.S., I have a great family and a wonderful home. I feel like I'm one of you now...almost."
