Yakov Smirnoff

Yakov has received the title 'Comedian of the Year' two times, and you will never realize how proud you are of your country until you see Yakov perform.

This Russian-born American is backed by the Russian Dance Troupe. The band of talented dancers leaps, twirls, spins and soars across the stage, while the star of the show delivers some of the most laugh out loud comedy antics in the area. Cheer for the red, white and blue as Yakov says, 'What A Country,' and you follow with 'What A Show.' You'll be induced with side-splitting laughter and a sense of patriotism all from this one show.

Not only has Yakov taken the stage in Branson, but he has also performed in a one-man show on Broadway, written a book and produced three videos and CDs. He has appeared in movies such as Brewster's Millions, Moscow on the Hudson, The Money Pit and Heartburn. He has also been featured in many other sources of media, including Home & Garden, E!, USA Today, NBC, WGN and Lifestyles.

If you've ever been the 'new kid,' you'll love Yakov's show. He really digs down deep to relive what it meant to be new in town. A mixture of heartwarming tales and humorous memories will always entertain the crowd.
