🎭STAND-UP COMEDY IN ENGLISH 🎭
finally! a new english language comedy show from alternative comedian sasha dolgopolov!
if in her previous show sasha explored the theme of stress, this time the focus is on its opposite - rest, slowing down, and calm.
how do you take care of yourself when the world around you is falling apart? how do you balance survival and rest? how do you keep from exploding under pressure? how do you stay calm when your life is unstable? how do you accept yourself when the world around you doesn’t?
sasha asks these questions (to herself and to us) searching for answers and inviting us to join this intriguing and hilarious exploration, while also talking about migration, gender, sexuality, politics, language, growing up, and of course… fruit flies!
The show will be held entirely in English.

“One of the most famous representatives of the stand-up genre which is gaining popularity in Russia” - Euronews
🦄 Audience Reviews: 🦄
"I'm and English and German speaker and I just found your stand-up!! I'm obsessed!! I'm jealous of everyone who can understand you in your native language but know that your humor translates well! <3"
"I am sure most comedians envy you for having so much shitty life experience which you can turn into hilarious material."
"Somehow even after switching to English, Sasha kept her unique style of delivery and wordplay. Absolutely loved the show, please support Sasha and go see her live if you can."
"you're my boyfriends favorite comedian (he saw you wayy back in moscow) and your first english special is part of how we started dating (he posted a story that said he doesnt go on dates with anyone who hasn't seen your comedy special, and well.. here we are)."
"Well Dolgopolov is a freak for sure"
🌈 About Sasha:
Sasha(Over 10 mln views on youtube/insta/tiktok ), a queer alternative political comedian from Russia who immigrated when the war in Ukraine started, has spent a decade honing her stand-up craft. She's evolved into one of the most provocative, recognisable, original, and significant Russian-speaking comedians.
Frequently lauded by opposition media and colleagues, she's considered one of the best Russian-speaking comedians in modern history. Now embarking on her second English tour with a completely new program, Sasha is embracing a new chapter in life and career.
Over the last decade, she's delivered hundreds of solo shows, open mics, festivals, contests across more than 24 countries (not an easy task with this type of passport). Sasha has successfully filmed seven one-hour comedy specials (including one in english) amassing over 14 million views on YouTube collectively.
Despite public attacks from Russian propagandist media, she persists in addressing topics like religion, authoritarianism, gender non-conformity, and anti-war stances.
This unique comedian is now ready to captivate an English-speaking audience once again!
