1:17:10Now PlayingStand up comedy is still a very young art form in the former Soviet Union. Moscow generally doesn’t like much an individual standing up and speaking to a crowd about his or her observational ideas. Pointing a mirror back on what The Kremlin has built quickly gets dangerous. Skits, Clowns and Vaudeville has been far more accepted. Always with a pretense or an affectation that keeps a single voice getting too much attention.
But in another break from the Empire, Stand Up is growing.
Anton Tymoshenko is at the forefront of this shift. He’s often called the most famous stand-up in Ukraine. Whatever the case, he’s just damned funny.
