Yakov Smirnoff.
Literally just this minute- got the following email…
Jeff,
Can pickup 2 last minute tickets for comedian Yakov Smirnoff at Kings Point in Delray Beach on March 6th.
Any good?

KSR:
Recently saw Yakov.
Tedious and boring with a capital “B”…
Maybe he plays well in Branson, but definitely not Jeff Eats’ cup of tea!
Thanks for reading.

He was just at Boca West.
Very long and very boring.
Not very funny.
Jeff,
Saw him a couple of weeks ago at the Woodfield Country Club in Boca and he was terrible. I’m looking for belly laughs and this guy is using screens and a clicker as if he was teaching a high school science class. An absolute waste of time.
KSR,
Also caught him at WCC and the man is strictly for country bumpkins. A few funny moments but real hillbilly middle America crap. As Jeff correctly stated maybe in Branson but the people around here are too sophisticated for this red, white and blue flag waiving nonsense. By the way talk about long, I couldn’t wait for him to get off the stage.
The man is a Branson act. The middle America polyester crowd loves his rah rah America story. Anyone with a real sense of humor will find him a total bore.
Caught Yakov at Boca West.
Terrible.
Woodfield CC just had him. He was on almost 2 hours of which maybe a total of 20 minutes was funny. In all fairness a few of my neighbors thought that he was terrific. That said these neighbors are from places like Pittsburgh and Scranton so they are sort of like country bumpkins. Can’t think of NYC folks enjoying him whatsoever.
I thought that he was pretty good but that he was on probably 40 minutes longer than he should have been.
Caught his recent show at Boca West. My husband and I thought that he was very funny.
If you want to bored or your a red neck, otherwise absolutely horrendous.
Boring white bread middle America. Don’t waste your money.
Our community recently had him and he was terrible. He’s like a Russian College Professor lecturing on America. He was so boring it wasn’t even funny.
