About Yakov

Yakov Smirnoff was born in Odessa, Ukraine and began his stand-up comedy career in the U.S. in the late 1970's. He was born 'Yakov Naumovich Pokhis' but chose the last name 'Smirnoff' because it was a name he thought Americans would be familiar with after a short time bartending in America.

He moved to Los Angeles in the early 1980's and made his first film appearance in 1984 with a small role in Moscow on The Hudson with Robin Williams. He had appearances in several other films including Brewster's Millions, Buckaroo Banzai, The Money Pit and the sitcom Night Court. He had a lead role in the sitcom What A Country! In 1988, he was the featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. He earned his master's degree in applied positive psychology from the University of Pennsylvania and incorporates his education, humor and life experiences into his hilarious commentaries. Recently, Smirnoff has been traveling with his 'Happily Ever Laughter Tour' in which he showcases laughter's effects on relationships.

Get tickets to see Yakov's hilarious comedy show to experience some classic Branson entertainment. You are sure to be entertained with his side-splitting comedy, stories, and personality.

"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.
