America's Favorite Russian Comedian Yakov Smirnoff Celebrating 20 Years of Laughter and His Last Full Season in Branson
Branson, MO ~ After two decades, Yakov Smirnoff has announced that 2012 will be his last full season at his Branson theatre, and that he will take his one-man, highly acclaimed Broadway show, Happily Ever Laughter, on tour around the United States beginning in 2013. The New York Times said “His Broadway show is splendidly funny, sometimes poignant, the bearded, boyish Mr. Smirnoff, whose career has taken him to films, television, the White House and ownership of a 2000-seat theater bearing his name in Branson, Mo., remains a generous display of warmhearted, high-quality humor." After receiving his master’s degree in psychology from the Ivy-League University of Pennsylvania in 2006, Smirnoff took his comedy to a new level and discovered the comedic potential of relationships and how laughter effectively opens the communication gap.
Yakov Smirnoff has forged a long-term career in show business. He's established himself not only as an accomplished standup comedian and entertainer, but also as a talented actor, published author, artist, producer, teacher, and speaker. Legendary for being America's favorite Russian comedian, Smirnoff is also an indelible part of Branson's entertainment community, and it will continue to be a place that he calls home.
Though he is celebrating his 20th and his last full season performing the Yakov Live! production, Smirnoff will continue to produce world-class entertainment for his theatre. He recently announced the five-year run of a brand new show that was designed especially for Branson called Brady Brunch with Barry Williams as Greg Brady from the 1970s hit television show The Brady Bunch.
"Actor, Barry Williams, who portrayed Greg Brady in America's best-loved television series The Brady Bunch, is a fantastic entertainer", said Smirnoff. "It's a privilege to produce his Branson multimedia variety show. I love Branson. It’s a great place to live. I’ve been here for 19 years, and I never lock my car. I don’t know where it is . . ."
