Description

Dorky and chubby "half-blood" kid born out of the Cold War era “darkness” of the USSR goes on to witness the rebirth of his homeland through the edgy yet sheepishly silly 90s to become a trinity of degrees sporting college professor and school teacher who moonlights as a bouncer and comedian. Welcome to the rocky road of an Eastern-European youth on his way to greatness. What you will hear is silly, shocking and sugar-coat free. In one way or another, everything in this tale of two clans has happened to the narrator. And somehow he’s still standing!

Saw this show yesterday. A great hour of stoic humour that paints a comical picture of growing up in Estonia post Cold War. We really enjoyed this honest and refreshing stand up. A great find by my son. I always buy a ticket to support the performers but this show is part of free fringe so there’s no excuse to not go along!
