"He's got it figured out!"

Saw yakov - and was actually on stage volunteering for a segment in the second half of the show - i learned quickly that it wasn't just a country music show but so much more--the comedy outweighs any show in branson, the patriotism far exceeds any other show and gives you a renewed sense of patriotism, and he breaks down the importance of laughter and how laughter helps to show love, heal, and bring everyone together. I felt like i had attended some kind of motivational seminar that happened to be extremely funny and entertaining. He's got it figured out!

"Funny, funny man."

Funny, funny man... Clean, family friendly, and even a few good lessons along the way about marriage and life. Yep this is one show that will make your visit to branson something you will remember. Unlike some other shows, the seats are wide and the rows very ample. It is comfortable and enjoyable all the way around..... What a program! There is no doubt that yakov has been doing comedy for 40 years-- he has perfected his art!

"We absolutely loved the show"

We absolutely loved the show, it was so funny and the additional entertainment was great. Can't wait to come back. He was so gratuitous in signing pictures when the show was over as well as having his picture taken with the people attending. Just a wonderful person, and a show we will definitely attend during our next trip to branson.

Yakov is a very likeable person who sees the funny in every day events. His stories were enjoyable. I did not expect the wisdom he shared for making relationships work. I almost feel like i attended a couples' workshop. Overall, it was a very pleasant evening.

"We had a great time!"

We had a great time! The shows were great, the attractions were great, the weather was amazing, & the food was good! The only disappointment was that we thought there would be more christmas lights on the strip. The lights were wonderful at branson landing though.

I have always enjoyed yakov smirnoff's comedy. I loved seeing him in person for the first time! He also allowed us to take pictures with him free of charge. What a country! I bought his book, poster, and dvd for $20, a very reasonable price.

My wife and i really enjoyed the show and it was full of laughs and had moments of inspiration. Yakov's story was one i'd never heard. We were unfortunately seated next to a couple of obnoxiously loud women that disrupted us (which is of no fault to branson shows, i realize).

I have always loved yakov and have seen him many times. He is always hilarious. I love the fact that he makes no pretense about his love for america. His show is very patriotic. I would go to see him again. He hasn't been performing as often, so if you get a chance to see while he is in branson, don't miss it.

Yakov was one of our favorites in branson. He is very talented, genuine, approachable and lots of fun. We laughed uncontrollably and were brought to tears with his sweet stories of his parents and family life. Hate to see him end his shows in branson but look forward to watching him on next year's season of dancing with the stars.

The show was a combination of music and humor. Lots of patriotic material. Some video historical material and some current material. Food service was somewhat awkward. Carts were brought through the isles and covered trays were passed down the rows of the auditorium. After the meal the trays were stowed under the seats. We were given a bottle of water as we entered the theatre.

Yakov is always fun, however, having been to his show nine years ago, he seemed to have more slides of his past and less dancing girls and other entertainers. His singer was very good.
