Alberta Bair Theater offers exclusive access to a live-streaming comedy show "United We Laugh" by Yakov Smirnoff on Saturday, August 29 at 7:00 pm mountain time. Available at the ABT website, general streaming tickets for this 75-minute performance are $25; $50 includes a post-show virtual Meet & Greet.
People may remember Russian immigrant Yakov Smirnoff and his catch phrase "What a Country!" from the 1980s when he performed on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, as a regular on the sitcom Night Court and the star of his own show What a Country!. He later appeared in movies alongside Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, and Jack Nicholson.
After defecting Communist Soviet Russia in the 1970s, Smirnoff arrived in the U.S. with nothing but a dream. Not knowing the language, Smirnoff humbly began working as a bartender at the famous Grossinger's Catskill Resort in New York, where he told jokes each night after his shifts. As his English improved so did the laughs. He quickly grew in popularity and moved to Los Angeles where the owner of The Comedy Store, Mitzi Shore, took him under her wing. His lovable view of life through the eyes of a poor immigrant captured the hearts of Americans.
Dr. Yakov Smirnoff is certainly living the American dream as a movie star, a best-selling author, an iconic comedian who tours and keeps a residency in the theater he owns in Branson, Missouri and, most recently, by earning a doctorate degree in leadership from Pepperdine University. His brand-new podcast on ABC radio is coming soon. With the heart of a dreamer, Dr. Smirnoff has made the impossible possible and continues to inspire others with his message that America is still "What A Country!"
