Yakov Smirnoff Tickets

We didn't really know what to expect, as we had not seen Yakov with anyone else before, and had never heard of Mark Gungor. But, it was essentially a short standup comedy routine by Gungor, and a longer standup routine by Yakov. Gungor was funny, but of course we came to see Yakov. Ever since he came on the scene 4 decades ago, this funny guy has been making people laugh, is still making people laugh, emphasizes how important laughter is important to a good relationship with someone, particularly in marriage, and that he is still so PROUD to be an AMERICAN - and this is a joy to hear - especially these days. I wish more people had come out, but it is hard to compete with football in the South on Saturdays! Since this is essentially the Swan Song time of Yakov's career, we are going to see this show again in Gulfport in November. And, we are looking forward to getting to know more about his movie with Mark Walhberg that he is currently filming! We were so glad to have the opportunity to see him closer than going to Branson, MO!

Wish we could of gone. Very sad to have missed it.

Saw Yakov this week in Branson. Such a good family show!! We loved it!!!

I have been wanting to see Yakov Smirnoff perform since he first came to the US. I would have loved to have heard him do his nightclub act that focused mostly on Russian/American jokes, but his new focus works well, and I understand we have to adapt for our audiences. His jokes were so much nicer than the typical F-word comedian nowadays. What a relief. And he is totally pro-American--another relief! Bravo.

Yakov was great! Good clean adult fun! Nice background media presentation. Theater staff were pleasant and helpful.

The best up close and personal show I've been to and I've seen lots of shows in my life. . . .

Was laughing throughout the whole show. Will go again if he returns next year.

Yakov Smirnoff was great! He really is a humorist rather than a stand-up comedian.

Yakov did not disappoint. The performance was fresh and timely, touching and hysterically funny. Wit, patriotism, and wisdom were the core of his performance. Yakov connected with his audience heart to heart at the outset and held us all in the palm of his expert hand for 90 minutes. It was a college psych course, a marriage counseling session, and a love letter all rolled into one. Can't wait to see him again!

Yakov was so funny. His show was very enjoyable and spanned his life experiences. And who knew he was an artist, too? He also met with the crowd after the show to sign his dvd and pose for photographs. A real gentleman! And as always, the Rialto was so gorgeous. My husband and I travel to downtown Chicago for plays, shows and concerts. We think the Rialto in Joliet is the most beautiful venue in the Chicagoland area.
